- Abstract
The article discusses a unique "purple eyelid sign" observed in six children with multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C) associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection. It is reported that this distinctive eyelid edema, not found in Kawasaki disease (KD), emerged before other symptoms and aided in early MIS-C diagnosis. It suggest this sign as a valuable tool for differentiating MIS-C from KD.
