COVID-19 is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus that first appeared in Wuhan, China. It is not just a respiratory disease but a multisystem disease. Risk factors for mortality and morbidity include advanced age, male gender, hypertension and immunosuppressive conditions. We present the case of COVID-19 that developed in a 31-year-old female patient who received azathioprine therapy with a diagnosis of pemphigus.
