A Doctor's Experience from Covid-19
Background:
COVID-19 infection can present with a range of clinical manifestations including asymptomatic, mild, moderate, severe and critical illnesses. However, it is uncommon for a single patient to pass through all the 4-phases of the infection.
Objectives:
To present my experience with COVID-19 as first responder having , passed through all the phases of the COVID-19 infections while on admission at the Isolation/Treatment centre.
Methods:
Experience RESULTS: I was managed with Remdesivir, Meropenem, Dexamethasone and Clexane. In the course of the illness, I developed some severe complications including COVID-19 pneumonia and suspected adrenal gland failure. The absence of known predisposing and underlining factors in this case made it unconventional COVID-19 presentation.
Conclusion:
We conclude that the presentation with the four stages of COVID-19 including suspected adrenal gland failure is a rare phenomenon. There is need for more research into this case.
