A 21-year-old woman arrived at the emergency department with dyspnoea, arterial hypotension and abdominal pain after 5 days with a influenza-like syndrome. SARS-CoV-2 was detected by reverse transcription PCR in a nasopharyngeal swab specimen. CT of the chest and abdomen with contrast demonstrated a minimal amount of free intraperitoneal fluid, gallbladder with wall oedema, multiple para-aortic lymph node and interlobular septal thickening with ground glass opacities on the lungs. No pleural effusion or thromboembolism. Early broad-spectrum antibiotics, high-flow nasal cannula and norepinephrine were started. She was successfully treated with intravenous immunoglobulin and pulse corticosteroid therapy with methylprednisolone. The patient was discharged home with complete resolution of her symptoms and returned to her previous health status.
