Abstract
Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in adults (MIS-A) is a rare but severe condition in adults with a clinical course similar to that described in children (MIS-C) following infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Here we describe a case of a 21-year-old, otherwise healthy female who presented with chest pain and signs of sepsis six weeks after recovering from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Early identification of MIS-A led to a favorable clinical course and full recovery. Given the highly variable disease presentation yet potentially deadly outcome, providers must remain vigilant to recognize and treat MIS-A early
