Abstract

A number of inflammatory or autoimmune manifestations linked with COVID-19 have been reported to be associated with some musculo-skelatal manifestations. These manifestations include fatigue, myalgia, arthralgia, vasculitis, autoantibodies, and chilblains. The underlying mechanisms are not completely clear but are thought to be directly or indirectly linked to circulating immune complexes, inflammatory cytokines and levels of complement proteins.
