Case:
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a pandemic respiratory disease. Patients typically present with fever, cough, and radiological lung changes. However, a significant proportion of these patients are asymptomatic. To date, we have limited information on the operations performed on these patients. We report our experience of a relatively asymptomatic elderly patient who underwent surgery for a hip fracture and was confirmed postoperatively to have COVID-19.
Conclusion:
Meticulous hand hygiene and use of surgical mask in daily practice is crucial to protect against asymptomatic and undiagnosed patients.
