Figure.. Clinical Presentation and Organ Involvement of Patients Identified With Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Adults (MIS-A)
A, Data were available for left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) from 10 patients, for erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) from 12, for D-dimer level from 9; and for ferritin level from 8. To convert C-reactive protein (CRP) level from milligrams per deciliter to milligrams per liter, multiply by 10. B, Each wedge represents a single patient, and each concentric ring represents an organ system, organized from inside out by frequency of involvement. ICU indicates intensive care unit.
