Document: The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically affected healthcare systems throughout the world. Though all domains of healthcare are busy battling this deadly pandemic, oncology care has taken a drastic hit due to cancer patients being immunocompromised and predisposed to acquire COVID-19 infection. Patients suffering from acute myeloid leukemia are at greater risk of acquiring Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2(SARS CoV 2) infection along with developing complications related to COVID-19 due to the immunosuppression caused by the malignancy, as well as the high-intensity chemotherapy provided in acute myeloid leukemia. We report a case of 28-year-old male who was a known case of acute myeloid leukemia diagnosed three months ago, presented with high-grade fever with cough and breathlessness. Nasopharyngeal swab of the patient for SARS CoV2 by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction turned out to be positive. The patient was managed successfully with steroids, remdesavir, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, and other supportive measures, and was discharged in a stable condition.
