Background: Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, a hyperinflammatory syndrome has appeared which develops weeks after a SARS-CoV-2 infection. This multisystem inflammatory syndrome has been described mainly in children (MIS-C), but lately has also been found in adults (MIS-A).
Case Description: We present a case of a woman with MIS-A.
Objective: To explore how parents judge disease severity of their febrile child and to identify symptoms they associate with serious illness, minor illness or health.
Design: Semistructured interviews were conducted. Interviews were audio taped, transcribed verbatim and analysed thematically.
