Abstract
SARS-CoV-2 is the third and largest pandemic that emerged in Wuhan city, Hubei province, China in 2019. As per WHO 45,988,595 people have been infected and the COVID 19 has caused more than 1,194,979 deaths. The clinical spectrum of COVID 19 varies from asymptomatic presentation to multi-organ dysfunction. The pathophysiology behind the sequel of COVID 19 immuno-suppression is an area yet to be explored. Here, we report a case of 52 year old male with persistent pyrexia post his recovery from COIVD-19. On further evaluation, a diagnosis of amoebic liver abscess that resulted as a sequel of COVID-19 was made.
