Cardiac Biomarkers Aid in Differentiation of Kawasaki Disease from Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children Associated with COVID-19
Abstract
Background: Kawasaki disease (KD) and Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) associated with COVID-19 show clinical overlap and both lack definitive diagnostic testing, making differentiation challenging. We sought to determine how cardiac biomarkers might differentiate KD from MIS-C.
