Multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS) in children is a severe illness characterized by fever, laboratory evidence of inflammation, and multisystem organ dysfunction resulting from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection in a patient younger than 21 years. We present the case of a 39-year-old man with evidence of prior COVID-19 who seemed to meet all non-age-related criteria for MIS in children as well as criteria for the working definition of MIS in adults, and who improved after treatment with aspirin, corticosteroids, and intravenous immunoglobulin. Clinicians should be aware of this new inflammatory illness, not only in children but potentially also in adults with antecedent or concurrent COVID-19.

Purpose: To evaluate retinal vascular changes by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C).
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 21 patients who were diagnosed with MIS-C and had a history of hospitalization, 20 pediatric outpatients with a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) diagnosis, and 26 healthy children. All patients underwent a detailed ophthalmologic examination and OCTA.

IgG-4 related disease (IgG4-RD) is an under recognised multisystem inflammatory disorder that has several typical manifestations. Cardiac manifestations of IgG4-RD are well documented however do not feature in the definition or diagnosis of IgG4-RD according to a recent consensus statement. The most well recognised cardiac manifestation of IgG4-RD, pericardial disease, is outlined in this case report as the initial presenting pathology.

There is a new awareness of the widespread nature of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and its connection to cardiovascular disease (CVD). This has catalyzed collaboration between cardiologists, hepatologists, endocrinologists, and the wider multidisciplinary team to address the need for earlier identification of those with MASLD who are at increased risk for CVD. The overlap in the pathophysiologic processes and parallel prevalence of CVD, metabolic syndrome, and MASLD highlight the multisystem consequences of poor cardiovascular-liver-metabolic health.
