Abstract

Introduction. Coronavirus infection caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus is characterized by a large range of clinical manifestations, which is associated with the presence of angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 receptors in many organs and tissues of the body. Subacute thyroiditis induced by COVID-19 is difficult to recognize due to the frequent absence of classical symptoms of thyroiditis. Aim. Demonstrate the features of the clinical course of a new coronavirus infection complicated by subacute thyroiditis and pericarditis in the distant period. Material and Methods. A clinical case of patient K., 56 years old, with damage to the pulmonary, cardiovascular and endocrine systems as a result of a new coronavirus infection was presented. Results and discussion. Subacute thyroiditis as a result of SARS-CoV-2 infection may have an atypical course. A pathognomonic feature of subacute thyroiditis is the high rate of erythrocyte sedimentation. The treatment of subacute thyroiditis in most cases requires the prescription of glucocorticoids. In some patients, prescribing nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may be sufficient to relieve symptoms. There was no clear association of cardiovascular symptoms in long-term COVID-19 with pre-existing cardiovascular pathology.. Conclusion. In the case of subacute thyroiditis developed as a result of SARS-CoV-2 infection, it is necessary to prescribe anti-inflammatory therapy in a timely manner. From a practical point of view, it is important to recognize cardiorespiratory symptoms in time as a non-specific manifestation of the long-term COVID-19 syndrome and the manifestation of cardiovascular pathology.
