| Popis: | Recent reports have described a secondary Multi system Inflammatory Syndrome in adult (MIS-A)and its temporal association with COVID-19 infection. Here, we report the case of a 25-year-old male who presented with shock and multi organ failure. Three-week prior to present admission he developed an Influenza like illness, secondary to SARS-CoV2 infection as detected by a reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Three weeks later, patient had recurrence of fever associated with throat pain, neck swelling, and a rash followed by shock and multiorgan failure. Laboratory work revealed elevated inflammatory markers. His throat swab for SARS-CoV-2 by RT-PCR was negative and SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody was reactive.In view of presentation like multi-inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) a probable diagnosis of MIS-A was made. He was successfully treated with intravenous Immunoglobulin and pulse dose Methylprednisolone. This case highlights the need to remain vigilant for multisystem inflammatory syndromes in the COVID-19 affected patients.[ |
