Abstract

COVID-19 has created one of the world's worst pandemics and is associated with various life-threatening complications and infections, possibly due to various internal and external host factors. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) coinfection is one of those infections. We present a challenging case of severe COVID-19 infection managed in our ICU care facility with concomitant CMV infection. We aim to highlight the significance of early diagnosis and prompt management for a better outcome.

Keywords: COVID‐19; SARS‐CoV‐2; coinfection; cytomegalovirus.
