Abstract

Objective: Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome (MIS) is a condition seen in the early post-COVID-19 period and thought to develop with an impaired immune response. It has been usually reported in children but rarely in adults. Here we report the first adult MIS (MIS-A) case series from Turkiye. Material and Methods: Six patients who met the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s MIS-A diagnostic criteria were included in the study. The demographic, clinical, laboratory, radiological characteristics and therapy regimes and outcomes of the patients were recorded. Results: All of our cases had a history of mild COVID-19. They presented with fever, severe fatigue and hypotension. Abnormal echocardiography findings were detected in five patients. Only one patient had multiple mucocutaneous findings. Common laboratory features were lymphopenia, markedly increased C-Reaktive Protein, procalcitonin, pro-brain natriuretic peptide (pro-BNP), D-dimer, and ferritin. All patients had positive SARSCoV- 2 antibody result. Corticosteroids and/or anakinra were used in five, and intravenous immunoglobulin was used in two patients. Low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) was used for all cases. Empirically initiated antibiotic treatments were discontinued after cultures were negative. After anti-inflammatory treatment, the hypotension of the patients resolved, they did not need intensive care follow-up and no mortality was seen in our cases. Conclusions: MIS-A is a severe and mortal condition that causes various clinical pictures and can be confused with sepsis. Anakinra, a recombinant IL-1 receptor antagonist, is a significant agent that can be used in the treatment of MIS-A since it blocks the cytokine cascade at an early stage. The satisfactory responses will be obtained with early diagnosis and anti-inflammatory treatment. In this period when the pandemic is not over yet, it is necessary to increase the awareness of clinicians about MIS-A, which can be fatal.

Özet

Amaç: Multisistem İnflamatuar Sendrom (MIS), COVID-19 sonrası erken dönemde görülen ve bağışıklık yanıtının bozulmasıyla geliştiği düşünülen sıklıkla çocuklarda görülen bir durumdur. Erişkinlerde nadiren bildirilmiştir. Bu makalede Türkiye’de takip edilen ilk yetişkin MIS (MIS-A) olgu serisi sunulmaktadır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’in MIS-A tanı kriterlerini karşılayan altı hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Hastaların demografik, klinik, laboratuvar, radyolojik özellikleri ile tedavi uygulamaları ve sonuçları kaydedildi. Bulgular: Tüm olgular COVID-19’u hafif şiddette geçirmişti. Hastaların hepsi ateş, şiddetli yorgunluk ve hipotansiyon ile başvurdular. Beş hastada anormal ekokardiyografi bulguları saptandı. Sadece bir hastada çoklu mukokutanöz bulgular mevcuttu. Yaygın laboratuvar özellikleri arasında lenfopeni, C-Reaktif Protein, prokalsitonin, pro-brain natriüretik peptid (pro-BNP), D-dimer ve ferritin artışı vardı. Tüm hastaların SARS-CoV-2 antikoru pozitifti. Beş hastada kortikosteroid ve/veya anakinra, iki hastada intravenöz immunoglobulin tedavisi ve hepsinde düşük moleküler ağırlıklı heparin tedavisi kullanıldı. Ampirik olarak başlanan antibiyotik tedavileri alınan kültürler negatif sonuçlanınca kesildi. Antiinflamatuar tedavi sonrası hastaların hipotansiyonu düzeldi, hiçbirinde yoğun bakım takibi ihtiyacı olmadı ve olgularımızda mortalite görülmedi. Sonuç: MIS-A, çeşitli klinik tablolara neden olan ve sepsis ile karıştırılabilen ciddi ve ölümcül bir durumdur. Rekombinant IL-1 reseptör antagonisti olan anakinra, sitokin kaskadını erken aşamada bloke ettiği için MIS-A tedavisinde kullanılabilecek önemli bir ajandır. MIS-A’da erken teşhis ve antiinflamatuar tedavi ile olumlu sonuçlar alınacaktır. Pandeminin hız kestiği ancak henüz bitmediği bu dönemde klinisyenlerin ölümcül olabilen MIS-A hakkında farkındalığının artırılması gerekmektedir. Anahtar Kelimeler: SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19, multisystem inflamatuar sendrom, erişkin, anakinra, steroid tedavisi
