Rehabil. Viral-dependent mechanisms (including invasion of alveolar epithelial and endothelial cells by SARS-CoV-2) and viral-independent mechanisms (such as immunological damage, including perivascular inflammation) contribute to the breakdown of the endothelialepithelial barrier with invasion of monocytes and neutrophils and extravasation of a protein-rich exudate into the alveolar space, consistent with other forms of ARDS51.

For this reason, we performed the same tests in two gender- and age-controlled groups, one with matched disease stage and severity and one without previous infection. Oto Rhino Laryngol. She and her partner were COVID-19 vaccine injured. Insights into the pathophysiology of MIS-C may be derived in part from Kawasaki disease and toxic shock syndrome, with possible mechanisms of injury related to immune complexes, complement activation, autoantibody formation through viral host mimicry, and massive cytokine release related to superantigen stimulation of T cells205,211.
