An unusual presentation of recurrent COVID-19 associated systemic capillary leak syndrome in a patient with multi-system inflammatory syndrome in adults (MIS-A) due to prior COVID-19 infection: Case report and literature review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

and importance: Systemic capillary leak syndrome (SCLS) and multisystem inflammatory syndrome in adults (MIS-A) are very rare multifactorial etiology disorders associated with COVID-19 infection. Both conditions are thought to be manifested by the inflammatory state induced by COVID-19 infection. Recurrent COVID-19-associated concomitant/successive manifestations of both disorders have not been reported yet.

Case presentation

We report a 38-year-old Asian gentleman who presented initially with fever, cough, shortness of breath, body aches, dizziness, and epigastric pain due to COVID-19 infection. A few days before this presentation, the same patient developed multisystem inflammatory syndrome in adults (MIS-A). Later, based on clinical and laboratory investigations, he was diagnosed with new-onset systemic capillary leak syndrome (SCLS). Despite resuscitative measures, the patient passed away.

Clinical discussion

The increased risk of inflammatory complications associated with COVID-19 infection is an emerging concern. Our case report signifies the importance of COVID-19 awareness in less educated and underserved areas with fewer information resources. Rare and fatal manifestations should also be advertised and discussed with the general masses with equal emphasis.

Conclusion

This case signifies the importance of understanding the pathophysiology of new-onset systemic capillary leak syndrome in a patient with recurrent COVID-19 infection and utilizing clinical knowledge and decision-making to manage such rare and complex disorders.

Project description:The Systemic Capillary Leak Syndrome (SCLS) is an extremely rare, orphan disease that resembles systemic anaphylaxis. The disorder is characterized by repeated, transient, and seemingly unprovoked episodes of hypotensive shock and peripheral edema due to transient endothelial hyperpermeability. SCLS is often accompanied by a monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance (MGUS). Using Affymetrix Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) microarrays, we performed the first genome-wide SNP analysis of SCLS in a cohort of 12 disease subjects and 18 controls. Exome capture sequencing was performed on genomic DNA from nine of these patients as validation for the SNP-chip discoveries and de novo data generation. We identified candidate susceptibility loci for SCLS, which included a region flanking CAV3 (3p25.3) as well as SNP clusters in PON1 (7q21.3), PSORS1C1 (6p21.3), and CHCHD3 (7q33). Among the most highly ranked discoveries were gene-associated SNPs in the uncharacterized LOC100130480 gene (rs6417039, rs2004296). Top case-associated SNPs were observed in BTRC (rs1235580, 3rs4436485), ARHGEF18 (rs11668246), CDH13 (rs4782779), and EDG2 (rs12552348), which encode proteins with known or suspected roles in B cell function and/or vascular integrity. SNPs that were significantly associated with SCLS by microarray analysis were also detected and validated by exome deep sequencing. Functional annotation of highly ranked SNPs revealed enrichment of cell projections, cell junctions and adhesion, and molecules containing pleckstrin homology, Ras/Rho regulatory, and immunoglobulin Ig-like C2/fibronectin type III domains, all of which involve mechanistic functions that correlate with the SCLS phenotype. These results highlight SNPs with potential relevance to SCLS. Our study cohort included 12 patients with SCLS. The control group included 17 age, sex and ethnicity-matched healthy donors (including two relatives of SCLS patients), and a reference sample supplied by the SNP-chip manufacturer (Affymetrix), for which age information was not available. Affymetrix SNP arrays were performed according to the manufacturer's directions on DNA extracted from purified B lymphocytes.
