Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in adults: Underdiagnosed??

Abstract

Multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS) in adults is a rare diagnosis compared to its counterpart in children. There are standard guidelines for the managment of MIS in children, the lack of such standard guideline for adult patients makes it a diagnostic challenge. Furthermore, lack of awareness about MIS-A among treating doctors can result in the condition to go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. Here, we are presenting a rare case of MIS in a 38-year-old female who presented to us with a history of fever and cervical lymphadenopathy.
