A COVID-19 Young Girl Patient with Developing Pneumonia and Septic Shock Passing the Death

Abstract

Rationale: Coronavirus disease is a current worldwide pandemic serious infection. Septic shock is a very common cause of death due to COVID-19 infection. There is a strong relationship between the severity of COVID-19 infection and death. COVID-19 infection is a well-known trigger for severe inflammatory changes and sepsis. Up till now, there is no well-known treatment for COVID-19. Patient concerns: A young girl COVID-19 patient admitted to the critical care unit with severe shock and developing pneumonia. Diagnosis: COVID-19 patient admitted to the critical care unit with COVID-19 young girl patient with septic shock and developing pneumonia. Interventions: Electrocardiography, arterial blood gas test, chest CT scan, central venous catheterization, and intravenous vasopressors infusion. Outcomes: Progressive dramatic clinical electrocardiography and radiological improvement had happened. Lessons: It denotes the role of anticoagulants, vasopressors, steroids, and antibiotics in the management of COVID-19 pneumonic infection and septic shock. C- reactive protein, lymphocytic count, liver enzymes, and CT chest may be used as a good laboratory guide for follow up for the inflammatory activity of COVID-19 patient. Blood pressure, respiratory rate, and O2 saturation are another strong guide for clinical for follow up in COVID-19 patients.
