- Abstract
Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) can trigger a variety of autoimmune diseases, as we have seen with a variety of other viruses. Examples of these are Guillain-Barré syndrome, Bell's palsy, Miller Fisher syndrome and viral arthritis related to the disease. The COVID-19 pandemic is progressing rapidly all over the world, our literature knowledge in this field is rapidly increasing. Here, we present a 30-year-old female patient diagnosed with post-COVID-19 lupus-pernio-like syndrome. The patient presented with the complaints of swelling and warmth in the right ankle and pain and swelling in the 5th finger (little finger) of the right hand. In her history, it was learned that she had COVID-19 2 months ago. The patient did not benefit from the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory treatment. A few cases with post-COVID-19 associated lupus-pernio-like syndrome have been reported in the current literature.
