Case report on Management of COVID-19 patient

Abstract

In late 2019, coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), was reported in Wuhan, Hubei province, China . It was declared a pandemic on March 11, 2020, having fulfilled the epidemiological criteria of more than 100,000 infections in at least 100 countries . Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The majority of the people who become ill with COVID-19 will experience mild to moderate symptoms and recover without special treatment. However, some will become severely ill and require critical care. We report the case of a middle-aged man, a known diabetic patient who was managed for moderate symptoms of SARS-CoV2 virus. He was admitted into the isolation ward, investigated, and had supportive care. He subsequently recovered without any sequelae and was discharged home 1 week after admission. We report this case to highlight the routine management of COVID 19 in a patient with comorbidity.
