We report a case of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) in an East Asian toddler. He presented with a 2-day history of fever and pyuria, 5 weeks before that he had recovered from COVID-19. He was initially treated as urinary tract infection. On day 5 of fever, he was noted to have bilateral non-suppurative limbus-sparing conjunctivitis, red and cracked lips and erythematous extremities. Investigations showed raised inflammatory markers (C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate), thrombocytopenia and a markedly elevated NT-proBNP. He received prompt and appropriate treatment inpatient; however, he still had mild coronary abnormalities at 9 months postdischarge. The aim of this paper is to describe the initial presentation and progress of a case of MIS-C. The unique features of this case are his initial presentation of pyuria and notably, his demography (young age, East Asian) which is more typical of Kawasaki disease than MIS-C.
