The 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) or the severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is rapidly spreading causing a pandemic all over the world [1]. Mainly affecting the lungs, it can cause severe acute respiratory distress syndrome.It may also affect kidneys, heart, nervous system and other organs [2]. Researches have defined almost all forms of acute COVID19 infections. However, after Covid effects are yet to be discovered. Clinical series of Kawasaki-like multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS), occurring after viral clearance, have been described in children (MIS-C) [3] and less commonly among adults (MIS-A) [4].
Described as a potentially lethal condition that occurs in undernourished patients, refeeding syndrome (RFD) is a severe electrolyte disturbance that includes low intracellular serum concentrations of phosphor, magnesium and potassium in patients undergoing inappropriate oral or parenteral renutrition. We report a case of RFD in a 50-year-old male patient that occurs 22 days after a radical cystoprostatectomy. The patient was anorexic after the surgery, the body mass index decreased to 12,36 kg/m

. The concentrations of albumin, magnesium, phosphor, and calcium were low. The Patient was admitted into the intensive care unit for severe cachexia and poor general condition 24 after introduction of parenteral nutrition (1500 Kcal/day). The evolution was lethal with multiple organ failure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
