Abstract

COVID-19 pandemic has caused havoc worldwide with huge health and financial losses to patients and relatives. It has wide clinical spectrum with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) as its primary manifestation. This also includes secondary infections developing post-COVID. Overall 10-15% of patients develop severe COVID and 5% become critically ill. Usually it takes 2-4 weeks to resolve. But few patients take unusually longer period to recover due to severe and serious complications. Some of them require prolonged ventilatory support and home oxygen and recover gradually with very high morbidity rates. We report a case of a 35-year-old male patient who was COVID-19 positive and took a long period of 116 days in-hospital stay to recover from illness in spite of having all possible complications.
