ABSTRACT
Bacground Methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) secondary to mutase deficiency, mut0, is an inborn error of metabolism causing complete enzyme deficiency. Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) is a hyperinflammatory syndrome characterized by fever, inflammation, multiorgan impairment that manifests 14–60 days after the SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients aged < 21 years. Case presentation We describe the clinical case of a 2-year-old child with MMA secondary to mutase deficiency, with the documented homozygous mutation c.2179 C > T of MMUT gene, associated to mut0 phenotype. One month after SARS-CoV-2 infection, he presented fever, rash, significant increase of C-reactive protein (CRP), ferritin, triglycerides, (interleukin) IL-6, PRO-BNP, compatible with the diagnosis of MIS-C. He was treated with intravenous immunoglobulins (2gr/Kg), methylprednisolone (2 mg/Kg/day), with rapid clinical improvement. Ten days later, he showed the worsening of clinical conditions, with the recurrence of fever, vasculitic rash with palmoplantar extension, further increase of ferritin (1033 ug/l), IL-6 (146 pg/ml), PRO-BNP (5117 pg/ml), triglycerides, anemia, thrombocytopenia, metabolic acidosis with hyperlactatemia (180 mg/dl), increased urinary methylmalonic acid (200 mmol/mCreat), multiorgan failure. He was treated with sodium bicarbonate, thiamine, coenzyme Q, vitamin C, methylprednisolone and anakinra (2 mg/Kg/day). Three days after the start of anakinra, he showed a significant improvement of clinical and biochemical parameters and defervescence. 20 days later, a sepsis from Staphylococcus Aureus and Candida Albicans required the interruption of anakinra, with the worsening of the clinical and haematological parameters and the exitus. Conclusions Only a few cases of patients with inherited metabolic diseases (IMD) and MIS-C are described. However, to our knowledge, this is the first case of MIS-C in MMA described. The description of these clinical cases is a precious lesson for pediatricians to manage IMD therapeutic emergencies. Anakinra must be considered as a safe treatment of choice in IMD patients with MIS-C. The use of anakinra in patients with a severe form of MMA is safe and can be employed to treat MIS-C, gaining a substantial clinical and biochemical improvement.
