COVID-19 is among the most deleterious pandemics that the world has ever faced. It is known that SARS-CoV-2 engenders its effects by triggering a massive immune response identified as a "cytokine storm," but the full extent of clinical manifestations of the disease is still not understood.
We report the first case of a patient with COVID-19 infection who developed inflammatory (IL) aseptic arthropathy. The patient is a South Asian male of Indian origin residing in the United States.
This case demonstrates the importance of remaining vigilant about the new and unique manners, in which COVID-19 may present itself. Providers should be aware of the possible development of IL arthropathy in patients with the disease.
新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)是世界所面临的最具危害性的大流行病之一。已知严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)通过引发一种被称为“细胞因子风暴”的大规模免疫反应来产生影响,但该疾病临床表现的全貌仍未完全明了。
我们报告首例感染新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)并发生炎性(IL)无菌性关节炎的患者。该患者是一名居住在美国的印度裔南亚男性。
本病例表明,对于新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)可能出现的新的独特表现形式保持警惕非常重要。医疗服务提供者应意识到该疾病患者可能会发生IL关节炎。
