The COVID- 19 pandemic has been a significant burden on global health care systems leading to over 5 million deaths worldwide and notable increase in morbidity. The second wave of the pandemic in India posed new challenges in the form of increased cases of severe disease, high case loads, younger patients and atypical presentations. It is critical to keep an eye on these unusual cases in order to increase the awareness about varied presentation of this relatively new disease.
