Abstract
Severe acute respiratory distress syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) provokes symptoms ranging from mild viral illness to a systemic inflammatory syndrome with multi-organ failure and has been associated with cases of arthritis. We report a clinical case of SARS-CoV-2 associated arthritis in which analysis of synovial fluid detected SARS-CoV-2 ribonucleic acid.
