Resumo
O primeiro caso de covid-19 foi detectado em dezembro de 2019, na China. A doença rapidamente evoluiu para uma pandemia e trouxe um fardo social e de saúde sem paralelo para a humanidade. As formas graves de covid-19 afetam principalmente adultos, especialmente idosos com comorbidades. Relatamos um caso grave de covid-19 em uma paciente de 12 anos de idade, previamente saudável, que deu entrada no pronto-socorro em 26/05/2020 com febre, dores abdominais, vômitos e diarreia. Durante a investigação, apresentou teste positivo para SARS-CoV-2 e evoluiu com falência múltipla de órgãos e eventos trombóticos catastróficos, resultando em amputação bilateral de pernas e quirodáctilos. Ela recebeu alta hospitalar para acompanhamento ambulatorial após 107 dias. No momento da redação deste relato, a paciente estava sendo submetida a protetização e recuperando marcha independente.
