Radiation recall after COVID-19 infection.

Abstract

A 64-year-old woman, unvaccinated against COVID-19, presented to the University of Colorado Hospital Radiation Oncology clinic (Aurora, CO, USA) in April, 2021, with a 7-week history of left chest wall burning, redness, and skin breakdown. These symptoms began with the onset of upper respiratory symptoms confirmed to be COVID-19 infection. She recovered from COVID-19 with conservative care; however, her pain and wound worsened, requiring opioid analgesics, and prompting her to seek care.
