Diffuse Alveolar Hemorrhage as an Unusual Pulmonary Manifestation of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Adults
Multisystem inflammatory syndrome–A (MIS-A) is a rare postacute complication of COVID-19 infection in adults. It is a hyperinflammatory condition presenting as cardiogenic and vasogenic shock leading to multiorgan failure. Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) is a rare pulmonary condition, with diverse...

| Summary: | Multisystem inflammatory syndrome–A (MIS-A) is a rare postacute complication of COVID-19 infection in adults. It is a hyperinflammatory condition presenting as cardiogenic and vasogenic shock leading to multiorgan failure. Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) is a rare pulmonary condition, with diverse etiologies ultimately leading to the extravasation of red blood cells into alveoli, resulting in respiratory compromise. The association between MIS-A and DAH has not been reported in the literature. Here, we describe a case of a 33-year-old man who presents with shock and diffuse alveolar hemorrhage in the setting of a highly inflammatory state, consistent with MIS-A. |
