China News Service, Shanghai, April 26 (Reporter Chen Jing) NIK (pseudonym), who was only 30 years old, developed viral infection, high fever, nausea and vomiting, pneumonia, and mental illness after a seemingly ordinary "cold". Exhaustion and inflammation indicators are off the charts...
NIK sent a request for help to the rheumatology consultation platform of Renji Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine (referred to as Renji Hospital). The reporter learned on the 26th that several keywords provided by NIK made the rheumatology team of the hospital keenly aware that the patient might suffer from a new disease-multisystem inflammatory syndrome. The hospital told reporters that the patient's condition improved after symptomatic treatment.
After more than ten days of unremitting efforts, various NIK indicators gradually improved, the glucocorticoid dose was reduced to oral administration, and he was successfully discharged from the hospital. (Photo courtesy of Yanji Hospital)
After NIK came to Shanghai in the second half of last year, her hands turned white and purple when exposed to cold, as well as multiple joint pains. She didn't take it to heart at the time. Unexpectedly, this ordinary "cold" immediately pushed her to the edge of life. One month ago, NIK developed an unexplained high fever. After receiving active treatment in an external hospital, her condition still progressed adversely and she developed respiratory and circulatory failure.
Ye Shuang, director of the rheumatology department of Renji Hospital, told reporters that after the experts inquired about the medical history in detail, several key words came to the mind of the rheumatology team - strong inflammatory reaction, coagulation disorder, and significant gastrointestinal symptoms after influenza. , acute cardiac insufficiency, and a certain response to glucocorticoids, all point to a new disease state: multisystem inflammatory syndrome.
According to reports, multisystem inflammatory syndrome was first reported in 2021, with symptoms similar to Kawasaki disease, manifesting as fever, gastrointestinal symptoms, shock, left ventricular systolic dysfunction, and elevated inflammatory markers. It was subsequently reported in adult and young patients. Similar cases of multisystem inflammatory syndrome have also been reported in . Ye Shuang said that NIK's condition is very similar to this. After careful analysis and discussion, the rheumatology team conducted cytokine targeted therapy and infection prevention based on organ function monitoring and support.
After 4 days of treatment in the rheumatology care unit, NIK turned the corner and was transferred to the rheumatology ward to continue receiving treatment and health guidance. After more than ten days of unremitting efforts by the medical staff, various NIK indicators gradually improved, the glucocorticoid dose was reduced to oral administration, and he was successfully discharged from the hospital.
