Abstract
In this article we describe two cases that presented with persistent fever and a hyperinflammatory state in association with severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 infection with various negative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction results. These cases subsequently developed myocarditis with cardiogenic shock that required vasoactive drugs and had a good response to corticosteroid treatment. All cases met criteria for a definitive case of multisystemic inflammatory syndrome in adults, a recently described entity associated with coronavirus disease 2019, which has a good response to immunomodulators and a good prognosis in most cases.
Keywords: Coronavirus disease 2019; Corticosteroids; Multisystemic inflammatory syndrome in adults; Myocarditis; Severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2.
