Abstract
We present a case of an early adolescent boy with respiratory insufficiency due to COVID-19 pneumonia with pulmonary embolisms, treated with corticosteroids, antibiotics, low molecular weight heparin and tocilizumab. His course was complicated by necrotising pneumonia with need for pleural drainage, tracheal cannula placement and antibiotics. We believe immunosuppressive medication potentially played a role in this course of disease.
