Sudden Hairloss and COVID-19

A woman, 51 years old with known hypothyroidism, was admitted to the emergency service because of postoperative complaints of nausea, vomiting, and jaundice. The patient's imaging revealed pleural effusion, compression atelectasis in the right lung, and lesions compatible with type 2 hydatid cysts in the liver; therefore, PAIR (Puncture, Aspiration, Injection, Reaspiration) was planned, and she was admitted to the internal medicine service. After this, the routine COVID PCR, taken before the interventional procedure, was found positive. During the patient's follow-up, there were no indications of respiratory failure brought on by a COVID infection. Although her vitals were steady, it was noted that she had an intense headache, and frequent and severe hair loss from night to morning on the third day of hospitalisation due to a contagious infection. There are few photos about similar cases. This case also important to be recognized as a symptom/complication of COVID-19 to be managed.
