ABSTRACT
CASE PRESENTATION A 58-year-old man presented to us with a 1-week history of high-grade fever and progressive dry cough. Four weeks before his presentation, he was diagnosed with COVID-19 infection and needed non-ICU hospital admission with no supplemental oxygen requirements for 6 days and was treated with a 5-day course of remdesivir and 3 weeks of dexamethasone. His steroid dose was commenced on dexamethasone 12 mg bid (four times the recommended dose) for 14 days and then gradually tapered over the remaining 7 days. His history was unremarkable, except for well-controlled asthma. He did not complain of any shortness of breath, weight loss, or loss of appetite. He was never a smoker and denied any alcohol use.
