## Abstract

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has led to a global health crisis. Long COVID refers to a debilitating condition characterized by severe symptoms that may arise after the initial acute phase of COVID-19. Significant attention has been directed toward the acute phase of the respiratory system while overshadowing the understanding and management of long-term complications, often referred to as "long COVID."

This case focuses on a 19-year-old female who experienced the multisystemic manifestation of COVID-19 syndrome several months after the initial infection, spanning cardiovascular, respiratory, endocrine, central nervous system, and multi-skeletal domains. This study aims to describe the patient's experience and recovery process with a specific emphasis on the long COVID experience.
