COVID-19 patient who denied any relating symptoms: A case report
Abstract
COVID-19 disease triggering extreme acute respiratory illness is becoming more common globally and increasing quite quickly with surprisingly high death levels among patients in certain countries with elevated infection rates and are more common and aggressive in the countries that are not committing to the prevention rules and recommendations from the mask and hand washing.
In this paper, I reported on a case of COVID-19 patient who denied any symptoms despite that the case is very familiar and clear and the investigations confirmed the diagnosis.
This case of COVID-19 is special because the patient hides her symptoms to avoid the quarantine according to her. This patient was in sever stage because her SPO2 = 77 and she had Gastrointestinal symptoms acting as a heartburn and despite that she was hiding her symptoms.
