Description
Nicholas Lorenz and others put out a 2025 case report about serious muscle swelling that came after a COVID infection. The patient's illness combined features of two autoimmune conditions, with antibodies linked to both, and also involved swelling of the epiglottis, a flap guarding the airway. Swallowing problems and airway trouble made the case most dangerous.
Autoimmune muscle diseases can surface after viral illness, when an upset immune system turns on the body. The authors stress that doctors should watch for such post-COVID problems early, because prompt treatment that calms the immune system can prevent lasting damage. The case adds to the list of autoimmune after-effects now known.
