Abstract | The spectrum of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) continues to evolve as time passes. In the majority of those infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), apart from fever, respiratory and gastrointestinal symptoms, involvement of other systems, such as cardiovascular and neurological system has also been described. Association between COVID-19 disease and a multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children and adolescents (MIS-C) has now been well defined. However, in adults there are sparse case reports describing a similar phenomenon. This has led to the development of preliminary case definitions for this disease, based on clinical manifestations, laboratory criteria and recent SARS-CoV-2 exposure or infection. Here we present a case of 28-year-old man who presented with high grade fever, rash, gastrointestinal and neurological symptoms fulfilling the criteria of MIS-C with a prior COVID-19 infection and recovered completely in 6 weeks after receiving steroid therapy. |
