ABSTRACT
Since the emergence of novel coronavirus and the disease named as COVID-19 in late December of 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei province, China, many aspects of this disease have been reported in the literature (mainly pulmonary manifestations). In patients with COVID-19, rheumatic and cardiovascular manifestations and interactions were reported separately, but they were all very rare. This is the report of a 14-year-old teenager with GPA (previously known as Wegner's granulomatosis) who was in remission with immunosuppressive therapy. Post COVID-19 infection, she developed exacerbation of her disease. Besides the rheumatologic manifestations, she developed epigastric pain found to be acute myocardial infarction (MI) that needed primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
