ABSTRACT
The involvement of the heart in COVID-19 infection appears to have a major negative influence on patient prognosis and survival. Myocarditis is caused by COVID-19, which can lead to heart failure and arrhythmias. On October 11, 2022, a 60-year-old middle-aged black African female widow was admitted with history of muscular weakness for two days and lack of appetite, and occasional vomiting for one day. She arrived at the emergency room after complaining for two days of peeing less than usual, weakness, a fast heartbeat, swelling in the feet, pink blood-tinged mucus, fever, headache, dehydration, a non-productive cough, and shortness of breath. Her neurological assessment to determine her level of consciousness indicated a Glasgow coma rating of 10/15. Routine reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (COVID-19) testing was performed in the emergency room; she tested positive. To treat her proven COVID-19 infection, she was received subcutaneous enoxaparin 80 mg every 12 hours as prophylaxis of deep venous thromboembolism. Because of a probable lung bacterial superinfection, 1 g of ceftriaxone and 500 mg of azithromycin were given orally once a day for five days to reduce her hospital-acquired infectious diseases.
