Post-COVID-19 sequelae can include various complications, including musculoskeletal manifestations. Unvaccinated against COVID-19, a 21-year-old woman initially experienced severe COVID-19 and subsequently recovered. She later developed mild COVID-19, which was followed by severe myalgia and joint pain in her upper extremities. After a third COVID-19 infection, she experienced intense pain in multiple hand joints and lethargy. The blood tests were normal, and the ultrasound report revealed tenosynovitis of the wrist joint. Her pain improved with combined treatment approaches. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of post-COVID-19 tenosynovitis. We have also highlighted the predisposing factors for the development of tenosynovitis, which may include being unvaccinated and lifestyle changes, such as a sedentary routine. This case also emphasizes the need for further research into the long-term effects of the condition on mobility and quality of life.
新冠后遗症可能包括各种并发症，包括肌肉骨骼表现。一名21岁未接种新冠疫苗的女性最初感染了重症新冠，随后康复。她后来又感染了轻症新冠，之后出现了上肢严重肌痛和关节疼痛。在第三次感染新冠后，她多个手部关节剧痛并伴有乏力。血液检查正常，超声报告显示腕关节腱鞘炎。综合治疗方法使她的疼痛有所改善。据我们所知，这是首例新冠后腱鞘炎病例报告。我们还强调了腱鞘炎发生的易感因素，可能包括未接种疫苗以及生活方式改变，如久坐不动。该病例还强调了有必要进一步研究此病状对活动能力和生活质量的长期影响。
