Abstract
ABSTRACT
Auto-brewery syndrome (ABS) is a rare medical condition, wherein gut microbiota ferment carbohydrates to alcohol. Risk factors for ABS include diets high in carbohydrates and sugars, diabetes mellitus, prior gastrointestinal surgery, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and certain genetic mutations, among others. We provide a case of ABS that developed after known COVID-19 infection, which may be one of the contributing factors to its development.
