We read with interest the well-founded observation made by Yung et al regarding no change in epidemiology or cases of Kawasaki disease in Singapore amid the current ongoing SARS-Coronavirus-2 pandemic. When it was initially recognized, there was uncertainty whether the SARS-CoV-2 associated multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) represented Kawasaki disease. Evidence and evolving understanding suggest it to be a separate clinical entity.
