They call it multisystem inflammatory syndrome or MIS-A in adults and say it is similar to multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children or MIS-C. Like MIS-C, MIS-A is not explicitly associated with coronavirus and sufferers may not show any other symptoms that would lead to covid-19 infection.
The CIDC team said MIS-AA has claimed the lives of at least three patients, and, like Kovid-1to, strikes disproportionate ethnic and racial minorities, the CIDC team said.
A black man living in Florida had rings in his ears, omti and chest pain. When he was admitted to the hospital he tested negative for Covid-19, but died despite treatment. He was 46 years old.
The CDC team said the 22-year-old black woman from New York was healthy until she had a fever and a cold, but had spent 19 days in hospital before she had enough to go home, the CDC team said.
MIS-CA has affected hundreds of children around the world and children recover if given immediate treatment. It causes general inflammation but patients do not usually show excellent symptoms of coronavirus. Blood tests show that a child can develop MIS-C weeks after recovering from a coronavirus infection – usually a case that causes mild symptoms or no symptoms at all.
The CDC team described 27 adults between the ages of 21 and 50 who had the same syndrome. Most are caused by severe inflammation in the body and defects of organs such as the heart, liver and kidneys – but not the lungs. “Hyperinflammation and extrapulmonary organ dysfunction have been described in adults admitted to hospital with severe covid-19, a condition commonly associated with respiratory failure,” MMMWRA wrote in the CDC’s weekly report on death and disease.
“In contrast, the patients described here had low respiratory symptoms, hypoxemia (low blood oxygen) or radiographic abnormalities as defined in the working case, which was to distinguish MIS-A from severe covid-19; There were documentation of features. “
One-third of the 27 patients tested negative for active coronavirus infection but tested positive for antibodies, indicating that they had been infected in the past. “All of the MIS-A patients described in this report were from racist or ethnic minority groups,” the researchers wrote.
The team advised that “clinicians and health departments should consider MIS-A in adults with relevant signs and symptoms.” These patients should not have SARS-Co-2 PCR or antigen test results, and to confirm previous SARS-Co-2 infections Antibody testing may be needed. “
Symptoms include fever that lasts for 24 hours or more; Chest pain and irregular heartbeat; Evidence of heart trouble; Gastrointestinal symptoms and rashes X-rays can show pneumonia even if patients have no symptoms.
The CDC stated that 10 out of 27 patients required intensive care; Three people were inside and three died. In two young adults, their first symptoms were a major stroke.
