The management of patients with prolonged viral shedding and COVID-19 symptoms is still unclear. This study presents a case of successful treatment of a patient with persistent, symptomatic severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection and associated organizing pneumonia using an extended course of combination antiviral therapy.
