Abstract

Abstract: We describe a case of SARS-CoV-2 post-infectious inflammatory syndrome in an adult who presented with multiorgan failure two months following his initial diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection. This case highlights clinician's early recognition of this devastating sequela and challenges in appropriate management of this patient.
