Zusammenfassung:The authors are presenting a case reflecting the evolution of an infected patient representing the source and, at the same time, one of the first severe cases of SARS-COV2 in Romania, burdened by a dragging and difficult evolution both by the nature of a newly identified infection, with real treatment deficiencies, and by deliberate omission of ethical aspects. There was a delay and were considerable difficulties in establishing the diagnosis, the evolution of the disease, along with some other consequences like an increase in the risk of transmitting the infection – a vicious cycle that otherwise could have been interrupted much earlier.
