Australian case of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in adults (MIS-A) occurs two months into 2021 SARS-CoV-2 Delta outbreak in New South Wales

We report, to our knowledge, the first Australian case of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in adults, a rare but severe systemic inflammatory syndrome occurring 4-6 weeks after COVID-19 infection. Clinicians should be aware of this syndrome in children or adults with shock, mucocutaneous and/or gastrointestinal features, even without prior symptomatic COVID-19 infection.PMID:34651316 | DOI:10.5694/mja2.51325
