    A rare disease, mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome, affecting children has appeared in North America. This acute febrile condition, common in Japan, may spread to Canada.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome (MLNS) is a recognized condition in Japanese children.
    • The syndrome presents as an acute febrile illness with characteristic symptoms.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report the initial cases of MLNS in North America.
    • To raise awareness of this condition among Canadian healthcare professionals.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical case reporting of two pediatric patients in Edmonton.
    • Description of the syndrome's clinical presentation and key features.

    Main Results:

    • Two children in Edmonton presented with symptoms consistent with MLNS.
    • The observed symptoms included fever, cervical lymphadenopathy, conjunctivitis, and extremity edema with desquamation.

    Conclusions:

    • MLNS, previously uncommon in North America, has been identified in Canadian children.
    • Given its potential infectious basis, MLNS may become more prevalent in Canada.
