Cardiac Endotheliitis and Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome After COVID-19 2020-07-29 .txt text/plain 952 58 46 In addition, a multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS) similar to Kawasaki disease has been increasingly reported in association with COVID-19 in children and young adults (3) (4) (5) . Objective: To provide what we believe to be the first report on the pathologic findings of vasculitis of the small vessels of the heart, which likely represents MIS, leading to death in a young adult after presumed resolution of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Gross abnormalities noted at autopsy (4 hours after death) were conjunctival injection, enlarged cervical and mediastinal lymph nodes, and vascular thrombi with focal surrounding hemorrhage in the left lower lung, which probably contributed to illness but were not likely the primary cause of death. The clinical picture in this adult patient of sudden lymphadenopathy and parotitis combined with small-vessel cardiac vasculitis after COVID-19 is strongly suggestive of a similar systemic inflammatory process.
