Coronavirus disease 2019 is a novel disease currently ravaging the world as a pandemic. More emphasis has been focused on the acute disease, with less attention on the detection and management of long-term sequelae which develop in some patients, variously termed "Long COVID," Post-coronavirus disease 2019 syndrome, or ongoing coronavirus disease. There are also various reports in the literature on the duration of viral shedding, with the longest known recorded being about 70 days, and whether this duration has an effect on prognosis or patients remaining infectious is still unknown. We report the case of a 22-year-old health care worker with prolonged multi-systemic features of coronavirus disease 2019 including cardiovascular, respiratory, central nervous system, and musculoskeletal symptoms lasting about 18 weeks from symptom onset, though never hospitalized, and persistent detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 attributed to viral shedding for over 110 days, which is the longest duration recorded to our knowledge.
