Abstract
Introduction: In February 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) designated Covid-19 as a global pandemic, resulting in a growing population of individuals with a wide range of persistent symptoms after acute SARS-CoV-2 infection. According to the categories proposed by the WHO, the symptoms can be regarded as post-Covid if they developed during or after the Covid-19, continue >2 months and are not explained by an alternative diagnosis. Common persistent symptoms include fatigue, dyspnea, and decreased exercise capacity. Even though at diagnosis Covid- 19 has prominent hematologic manifestations, they mostly resolve after recovery from acute illness. We present a case of a 58-year-old male, without prior medical conditions, who developed a profound and prolonged anemia following mild Covid-19.
