Abstract
COVID-19 derives from infection with Coronavirus [severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-CoV-2] is associated with high morbidity and mortality. These hazardous impacts are due to the release of a storm of pro-inflammatory cytokines and thrombogenic agents. Increasing evidences about multi organ involvement in COVID infection have started pouring in, where patients who either recovered from or had mild symptoms after COVID-19, exhibit diffuse multi organ related symptoms. We describe a case of a 23-year-old male who presented to emergency room with intermittent high-grade fever, sudden onset of breathlessness, giddiness and weakness. His COVID RTPCR was negative. He was unvaccinated but his covid antibodies were increased multifold. Further examination revealed active multi organ involvement which suggestive for multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS). With appropriate diagnosis and treatment patient improved clinically over a course of 3 weeks and discharged and is under regular follow up.
