| Abstract | Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is highly contagious and typically presents with respiratory complications. Non-respiratory etiology has been increasingly identified in the literature, including cardiac manifestations. Here, we discuss an atypical case recently treated for SARS-CoV-2 presenting with acute pericarditis. Our patient's medical history of autoimmune disease and renal transplant further complicated her care. There is currently no standard of therapy for SARS-CoV-2-related pericarditis. We would like to highlight increased awareness of this rare complication as well as successful treatment regimens for acute management of the disease. |
