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.
