A rare complication of COVID-19 in which the patient suffers extreme inflammation, which was once exclusively seen in children, is now turning up in adults who have had the illness, NBC News reported.
MIS-A stands for “multi-system inflammatory syndrome in adults,” a variant of MIS-C (“multi-system inflammatory syndrome in children”). The latter sickness began appearing children this spring, but at the time, was not seen in adults.
Now, however, physicians are reporting seeing it in older patients as well.
As previously reported by The Inquisitr, the condition causes severe inflammation of the blood vessels, including coronary arteries. In some cases, it presented weeks after the patient was first diagnosed with the illness caused by the novel coronavirus. Some kids have been so sickened by the illness that they required ventilators, and at least 20 children have died from it.
In some adults, the first sign of the condition is a rash.
