Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome (MIS-A) is a hyperinflammatory condition occurring in adults with age >21 years. It is a rarely reported, potentially lethal condition observed in COVID-19 infections. We report a case of a 31-year-old young male with a history of COVID-19 infection one month prior, who presented with fever, abdominal pain, nausea and recurrent vomiting for 3 days and was eventually diagnosed with MIS-A. In adults presenting with raised inflammatory markers and multisystem involvement in a post COVID-19 infection, a high index of suspicion is required for diagnosis and prompt initiation of treatment with corticosteroids and IVIG is required for improved outcome.

Abstract


Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome (MIS-A) is a hyperinflammatory condition occurring in adults with age >21 years. It is a rarely reported, potentially lethal condition observed in COVID-19 infections. We report a case of a 31-year-old young male with a history of COVID-19 infection one month prior, who presented with fever, abdominal pain, nausea and recurrent vomiting for 3 days and was eventually diagnosed with MIS-A. In adults presenting with raised inflammatory markers and multisystem involvement in a post COVID-19 infection, a high index of suspicion is required for diagnosis and prompt initiation of treatment with corticosteroids and IVIG is required for improved outcome.
