Abstract

Abstract: The COVID‐19 pandemic has been a worldwide medical challenge. Despite rapid advancements, many questions regarding SARS‐CoV‐2 interaction with other pathologies and long‐term consequences remained unanswered. Sarcoidosis is a multi‐systemic granulomatous disease that develops in genetically predisposed individuals following their exposure to an environmental trigger. We present the case of a patient who was diagnosed with sarcoidosis following a SARS‐CoV‐2 infection.
