  • Title: Lethal vasculitis of coronary arteries in a neonate and two infants: possible neonatal variant of the MLNS/IPN complex?
    Author: Krapf R, Zimmermann A, Stocker F.
    Journal: Helv Paediatr Acta; 1981; 36(6):589-98. PubMed ID: 6120921.
    Abstract:
    An unusual case of fatal myocardial infarction in a neonate due to coronary arteries is compared with two lethal cases of Mucocutaneous Lymph Node Syndrome and/or Infantile Periarteritis Nodosa (MLNS/IPN). The neonatal coronary arteritis was pathologically indistinguishable from typical forms of MLNS/IPN, which cannot be reliably separated and whose strange epidemiologic features as well as their etiology(-ies) remain to be clarified. It is suggested that further research of the etiology of MLNS/IPN should be aware of a possible neonatal variant of this syndrome.
