Published in: BMJ case reports (2021)
We report a pair of siblings who developed multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) in close temporal proximity after recent exposure to SARS-CoV-2. Both siblings presented with Kawasaki disease-like features and haemodynamic instability, with the onset of symptoms within 6 days of each other. Remarkably, one of the siblings was the elder of a pair of monozygotic twins. The younger monozygotic twin, however, did not develop MIS-C.
