Abstract
Infection related hypoparathyroidism is very rare. This is a case report of a 40year old male who presented with history of cough, fever and shortness of breath since one week. He was diagnosed to be covid-19 positive. He was initially managed with non-invasive ventilation therapy, later in view of hypoxia and increased oxygen requirement he was managed with mechanical ventilator support. He was extubated on 5th day. Two days after extubation he developed altered sensorium and unexplained twitching and weakness of right upper limb. His blood tests during that time revealed low serum calcium and low vitamin D levels; Diagnosed as Hypoparathyroidism secondary to Covid – 19 infection. He was managed with tablet calcium, capsule rocaltrol and injection calcium gluconate. Patient’s right upper limb weakness and twitching improved gradually later discharged home on 20th day in hemodynamically stable condition
