    • Abstract
  • This article presents a case study of a patient who had Cronkhite-Canada syndrome in combination with an asymptomatic novel coronavirus infection. The patient exhibited clinical symptoms of loss of appetite, hair and nail loss, and skin pigmentation. Digestive endoscopy revealed widespread and varying-sized polypoid changes in the mucosa of the stomach, duodenum, and colon. During the course of the illness, the patient tested positive for novel coronavirus nucleic acid. Treatment with moderate doses of prednisone resulted in the patient's hair regrowth and decreased skin hypopigmentation. The article provides a summary of the patient's diagnosis and treatment and a review of relevant literature, with the aim of enhancing clinicians' understanding of the disease.
