Abstract

Viruses that induce pulmonary difficulties and auto-inflammation are more common in people with Down syndrome. They also have a higher number of comorbidities associated with a worse prognosis than the overall population. Adult patients with acute COVID-19 are increasingly being diagnosed with Long COVID. However, patients with Down syndrome with later long COVID-19 are the first example documented in Bangladesh.

Keywords: Bangladesh; COVID‐19; down syndrome; long COVID; risk factor.
