Abstract
Dear Editor, Paediatric multisystem inflammatory syndrome temporally associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) (PIMS-TS) is an increasingly recognized entity, with features of both Kawasaki disease and toxic shock syndrome. There have been multiple reports of this syndrome in the paediatric population [ 1, 2]. We describe an adult male presenting with features suggestive of Kawasaki disease after recently confirmed infection with SARS-CoV-2.Keywords
