Background:
Incidence of viral pneumonia has been reported in several patients diagnosed with COVID-19. The infection has also been linked to the development of inflammatory syndromes and related clinical manifestations.
Result:
The present study discusses four cases of COVID infection showing varying clinical features. The post-COVID inflammation syndrome was associated with non-specific inflammation and post viral arthritis in three cases. One other subject had vasculitis leading to central retinal artery occlusion.
Conclusion:
As the number of cases of COVID-19 cases has been increasing globally, it is advisable that physicians consider the possibility of post-COVID manifestations while examining patients with non-specific inflammation. A short course of NSAIDs and hydroxychloroquine regimen has been found to be beneficial for alleviating symptoms, and in rare cases with organ threatening inflammation, steroids may be required.
