Abstract

Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) has become a serious health problem in Turkey and the world. The diagnosis stage of many chronic diseases, the treatment process and the status of being affected by COVID-19 have become the focus of attention in the medical community during the pandemic, which has been continuing for nine months. We will discuss the course of COVID-19 infection over a 32-year-old and 76-year-old female patient with Cushing syndrome who applied to our clinic as a tertiary referral centre.
