Abstract
in English, German
For the past 3 years, our daily lives have been largely dictated by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. In many people, this infectious disease leads to long-lasting symptoms, which can vary greatly in form and intensity between individuals. This report describes the case of a young patient who had no health restrictions until she came into contact with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). As part of a post-COVID syndrome, she not only temporarily lost her ability to work, but was also no longer able to manage her daily life independently. A crucial therapeutic approach, in this case, was the use of heparin-induced extracorporeal LDL/fibrinogen precipitation (H.E.L.P.) apheresis.
Keywords: COVID 19; Chronic condition; H.E.L.P. apheresis; Hyperlipoproteinemia; Long COVID.
