Amrita Pattanaik, Prasad Varamballi, Srilatha Marate, Sushma Bhandarkar B., Shrikiran Aroor, Somashekar A.R., Suchetha S. Rao, Chiranjay Mukhopadhyay

Clin Exp Pediatr. 2026;69(9):726-732. Published online August 19, 2026

Question: Do serum soluble C5b-9 (sC5b-9) levels change following immunomodulatory therapy in children with multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS- C)?
Finding: In this longitudinal multicentric study of 100 children with MIS-C, serum sC5b-9 concentrations significantly decreased following treatment, although some patients showed persistently elevated levels at discharge.
Meaning: Serial sC5b-9 measurements may indicate treatment-associated immune activity and recovery in MIS-C.

Question: Does microalbuminuria predict mortality in pediatric intensive care unit?
Finding: Positive correlation was found between albumin-creatinine ratio and pediatric intensive care unit stay, organ dysfunction and need of inotropes. Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for albumin-creatinine ratio was comparable to mortality scores.
Meaning: Microalbuminuria is a good predictor of outcome in pediatric intensive care unit and is comparable with mortality scores.
