Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic had many new post-viral sequelae some of which are yet to be detected. In our case series, we are presenting five patients with different ages, medical backgrounds, and presentations, who were diagnosed with Post COVID-19 Graves’ disease at Royal Hospital from January to December of 2020. The main reason behind this case series is to highlight the variability of presentation and the duration between exposure to the virus and the presentation. In addition, due to the similarity in the presentation of some of the symptoms between COVID-19 infection and Graves' Disease, most of those patients were delayed in getting the proper diagnosis of COVID-19-induced Graves' disease. Hence, this case series can aid in alerting primary care doctors for early detection of such cases and regular follow-up, which can positively impact our national healthcare system.
