Abstract

In December 2019 new type of coronavirus which did causes severe acute respiratory syndrome was reported and named as SARS-CoV-2. Globally, over 31 000 000 cases were confirmed, and over 962 000 patients have died from this viral infection. A 31-year-old male patient was admitted to our clinic with fever and cough for three days. He was healthy, he did not have any specific medical history. At first admission, computed tomography showed mild pneumonia. He was discharged with treatment of hydroxychloroquine. He was admitted again to our clinics four days later with a compliant of dyspnea. Pneumonia progressed rapidly in a short period. Piperacillin-tazobactam combination, favipiravir and azithromycin were added to therapy. Although supplementary oxygen and prone positioning added to medical therapy, the patient was desaturated and died. As a conclusion; patient without known predictors of mortality for COVID-19, can result in death. Patients with COVID-19 should be followed closely for clinical course.

Özet

Aralık 2019’da SARS’a neden olan yeni tip bir coronavirüs bildirildi ve SARS-CoV-2 olarak adlandırıldı. Dünya çapında 31.000.000’den fazla vaka doğrulandı ve 962.000’den fazla hasta bu viral enfeksiyondan öldü. Kliniğimize üç gündür ateş ve öksürük şikayetleri ile başvuran 31 yaşında erkek hasta başvurdu. Özgeçmişinde hastalık öyküsü yoktu. Bilgisayarlı tomografide hafif pnömoni izlendi. Hidroksi klorokin tedavisi ile taburcu edildi. Dört gün sonra nefes darlığı ile tekrar kliniğimize başvurdu. Pnömoni kısa sürede hızla ilerledi. Tedaviye Tazocin, favipiravir ve azitromisin eklendi. Medikal tedavi ve yüzüstü pozisyonlama ile destekleyici oksijene rağmen hasta desatüre oldu ve vefat etti. Sonuç olarak; COVID-19 için bilinen mortalite prediktörleri olmayan hastalar da ölümle sonuçlanabilmektedir. COVID-19 hastalarının klinik seyirleri yakından takip edilmelidir.
