Abstract

The frequency of pericarditis as a complication in COVID-19 patients without underlying disease is not well known. We report a case of COVID-19 presenting with pericarditis without myocarditis or severe respiratory symptoms in a middle-aged woman, who had neither underlying disease nor previous diagnosis of COVID-19.
