Abstract

Multi inflammatory syndrome (MIS) is a rare complication associated with covid-19 with few cases reported in pediatric age group. This entity is not well studied in adults. We report a case of a young male presented to us in very critical condition and was diagnosed as a case of MIS-A (Multi Inflammatory Syndrome - Adult). He was successfully treated with intravenous immunoglobulin, steroids and other supportive measure. By correct and timely diagnosis of this entity, one can prevent fatal outcome.
