Our genetics findings in MIS-C is out @JExpMed. A fantastic international collaboration enabled by DIAMONDS and COVIDHGE consortia @dilyssantillo @ebellos
Bellos, Santillo, @SanchoShimizu et al. identify an enrichment of rare, damaging variants in BTNL8 in MIS-C patients resulting in impaired Vγ4⁺ γδ T cell engagement associated with altered gut homeostasis which may contribute to the pathogenesis of MIS-C. https://t.co/y0WZpxIxJL

Confirming what was previously shown in a large European cohort - but hopefully still relevant and sparking some debate - with WBC still a routinely used biomarker for identifying serious bacterial infection in febrile children @DIAMONDS_2020 @PERFORM_2020
Value of WCC in predicting serious bacterial infections in ED children WBC >15 only sensitivity 0.56 specificity 0.74 CRP perform better AUC 0.84 vs WCC AUC 0.71 Multicentre observational study 🇪🇺 @CarrolEnitan, @BennoKohlmaier, @ejlim8, @rgnijman
