Although its prevalence is low and probably related to underdiagnosis, its development can be associated with high mortality. Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in adults (MIS-A) can develop following both asymptomatic and symptomatic severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and in previously healthy people. Like MIS-C, MIS-A is a multisystem disease that can involve the cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, dermatologic, hematologic, and neurologic systems. In addition to the clinical manifestations, the diagnosis of MIS-A requires laboratory evidence of inflammation and SARS-CoV-2 infection. The appropriate treatment for MIS-A remains unclear; anti-inflammatory agents, including intravenous immunoglobulin and corticosteroids, are commonly used. However, there are still many unknowns regarding MIS-A. Further studies are needed to determine the true prevalence, pathogenesis, and effective treatment for MIS-A. |
