COVID-19-related pain and muscular weakness have been documented often in more severe instances and in post- mortem biopsies. Patients infected with the severe acute respiratory syndrome virus (SARS-CoV-2) have also suffered neurological damages. Furthermore, during and after an infection, immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy might develop. SARS-CoV-2 infection has also been linked to immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy in case reports. In this report, a young patient with minimal comorbidities was brought to the hospital with seronegative immune- mediated necrotizing myopathy due to COVID-19.
