Abstract
Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a syndrome associated with coronavirus disease 2019. Various phenotypes of MIS-C have been described including Kawasaki disease (KD). Although perineal desquamation is a known early sign of KD, to our knowledge, this rash has not yet been described in the KD phenotype of MIS-C. In this article, we report two patients in whom perineal desquamation was an early clue for the KD phenotype of MIS-C.
