Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection in children usually presents as mild infection. There have been several reported papers of thyroid dysfunction in adults suffering from SARS-CoV-2 infection but there hasn’t been any reported case in pediatric population. We report first pediatric case of post COVID-19 thyroid abscess that developed 6 weeks post infection.
