COVID–19後に成人多系統炎症性症候群および特徴的な眼症状を呈した1例(A case of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in adults and characteristic ocular symptoms after COVID–19)

Abstract

ABSTRACTMultisystem inflammatory syndrome in adults (MIS–A) is a rare but serious condition which occurs after weeks of getting sick from COVID–19. Here, we report a 54–year–old MIS–A female patient who presented with multiple organ failure (cardiovascular and gastrointestinal involvement) and markedly elevated inflammatory markers three weeks after recovering from COVID–19. The patient was characterized by photophobia and epiphora, suggestive of uveitis. Symptoms improved upon intravenous immunoglobulin and steroids. The patient was discharged on the nineteenth day of hospitalization without any recurrences. Clinicians should be highly suspicious of MIS–A in recent COVID–19 patients presenting with multiple organ failure and ocular symptoms.
