Case Presentation: We report a case of laryngospasm in a patient with Coronavirus-2 infection who was admitted to the emergency department for the first time. Laryngospasm was revealed after treatment. Conclusions: The clinician should note that laryngospasm can be triggered by Coronavirus-2 infection. | en |
