ABSTRACT
Background: COVID-19
is a viral disease that has high transmissibility and can cause acute
respiratory distress and progress to the failure of several organs.
Case presentation: In this case report, we present the
multifaceted scope of COVID-19, which affected a young adult patient,
presenting grade II obesity as the only comorbidity. The case data indicate a
relationship between comorbidity and the disease, including its prognosis and
length of hospital stay. The
COVID-19 infection behaved persistently. Obesity, as the only detected
comorbidity, appeared to be a contributor to delayed recovery and discharge.
Conclusion: It is important to report cases about
the new coronavirus so that the medical community can explore and deepen the
experiences surrounding this disease. Future studies should point to concrete evidence
regarding the relationship between obesity and COVID-19.
