Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), is a novel virus that results in a variety of clinical manifestations. In this report, I describe an uncommon presentation of reactive arthritis (ReA) following COVID-19. I report the case of a 39-year-old woman who presented with arthritis in the small joints of the hands after recovery from COVID-19 infection. To my knowledge, only four cases involving such a presentation have been reported in the literature so far.
Keywords: covid-19; reactive arthritis.
