Two groups of New York doctors have each reported a case of Kawasaki-like disease in adults: one in a 36-year-old woman and one in a 45-year-old man.

The Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) phenomenon that appears to be secondary to COVID-19 infection in children isn’t exactly Kawasaki disease, but it looks similar, the authors note in the American Journal of Emergency Medicine.
