【Summary】
The COVID-19 broke out since 2019, and spread around the world from March 2020, and raged in Taiwan in May 2021. There are just a few articles described myalgia and muscle weakness caused by the COVID-19. Critical illness patients need to be hospitalized in the Intensive care unit for a long time, as a result, it is more likely to develop muscle weakness. This is a 35-year-old woman who was hospitalized in the intensive care unit for 81 days. She received the antibiotic treatment for high fever, vasopressin and fluid supply was provided owing to the PICCO revealed low diastolic volume and increased systemic resistance. She received on and off hemodialysis for hyperkalemia.
After that, she suffered from weakness of both lower limbs and was not able to raise the upper limbs. However, after combining the Chinese and Western medicine, performing acupuncture at the ST-36 Zusanli, LI 4 Hegu,SP-10 Xuehai and ST 34 Liangqiu her muscle power gradually recovered.
