In a recent report, compared to a historical 'classical' Kawasaki disease (KD) cohort, patients with PIMS-TS had significantly lower platelet counts (188 vs 383 g/L, p < 0.0001). We herein propose that the platelet count may, at least in part, be able to help us differentiate between the two aforementioned syndromes. Debate is ongoing regarding the nature of these pro-inflammatory syndromes.
In recent months, there are increasing reports of a Kawasaki disease-like syndrome in children infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), termed 'Paediatric Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome temporally associated with SARS-CoV-2 (PIMS-TS)' in the UK.
