Abstract
COVID-19 is not only a respiratory disease, but a multisystem disease that can cause organ dysfunction and coagulation disorder associated with high mortality and morbidity, particularly in vulnerable populations. Severe complications can be seen especially in elderly patients with systemic disease and immunosuppressive patients. We present the case of COVID-19 that developed in a 38-year-old female patient with pemphigus successfully managed with favipiravir.

Abstract
COVID-19 sadece bir solunum hastalığı değil, aynı zamanda özellikle hassas popülasyonda yüksek mortalite ve morbidite ile ilişkili organ disfonksiyonuna ve pıhtılaşma bozukluğuna neden olabilen multisistemik bir hastalıktır. Özellikle sistemik hastalığı olan yaşlı hastalarda ve immünsüpresif hastalarda ciddi komplikasyonlar görülebilmektedir. Favipiravir ile başarılı bir şekilde tedavi edilen pemfiguslu 38 yaşındaki bir kadın hastada gelişen COVID-19 vakasını sunuyoruz.
