ABSTRACT
The multisystem inflammatory syndrome associated with COVID-19 coronavirus infection was first described in April-May 2020, mainly among children who had an acute infectious disease. Soon there were reports of the development of MIS in adults (MIS-A). More than 200 cases of MVS in adults have been described and systematized in the world, while in Russia there is no separate registration of MVS, a single description of MVS is given in the literature. Material and methods. We presented Case report of MIS-A in a 21-year-old woman, accompanied by persistent fever, multiple organ failure syndrome, is presented. The stages of diagnosis and treatment of MIS-A. Result and discussion. A positive effect was achieved during therapy with corticosteroids and intravenous immunoglobulin. MIS-A is a rare life-threatening complication of a COVID-19 that requires emergency therapy with the inclusion of corticosteroids and intravenous immunoglobulin in an adequate dose. The given example will be interesting for general practitioners, infectious disease specialists and therapists.Copyright © 2023 The authors.

ABSTRACT
The article presents a clinical example of Guillain-Barre syndrome with a predominant involvement of cranial nerves, which developed after COVID-19. Comprehensive clinical and laboratory diagnostics, including examination of cerebrospinal fluid, electromyography, examination for possible etiological infectious agents, was carried out. A course of pathogenetic therapy was used in the form of plasmapheresis sessions, supportive therapy. A good clinical effect was obtained. To this moment, only a few cases of the development of Guillain-Barré syndrome after a new coronavirus infection have been described. The peculiarity of our case is the development of a clinical picture of insufficiency of predominantly cranial nerves with subclinical involvement of the nerves of the extremities.
