| Abstract: | COVID‐19 has created one of the world''s worst pandemics and is associated with various life‐threatening complications and infections, possibly due to various internal and external host factors. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) coinfection is one of those infections. We present a challenging case of severe COVID‐19 infection managed in our ICU care facility with concomitant CMV infection. We aim to highlight the significance of early diagnosis and prompt management for a better outcome. |
