Abstract

Abstract: Severe acute respiratory distress syndrome‐coronavirus‐2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) provokes symptoms ranging from mild viral illness to a systemic inflammatory syndrome with multi‐organ failure and has been associated with cases of arthritis. We report a clinical case of SARS‐CoV‐2 associated arthritis in which analysis of synovial fluid detected SARS‐CoV‐2 ribonucleic acid.
