Sumario:Herein, we report the case of a young female patient who suffered from myositis and heart failure due to fulminant myocarditis induced by the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19). After receiving intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) and immunomodulatory treatment, her vital signs gradually stabilized and the IABP was removed. Cardiac and muscle magnetic resonance imaging confirmed extensive myocardial and skeletal muscle edema. Though it is not uncommon for COVID-19 infection to be complicated by myocarditis and myositis, such serious muscle injury warrants clinical vigilance.
