Abstract

Abstract In this case report, we present a 10‐year‐old girl with acute suppurative thyroiditis (AST) symptoms, such as fever, sore throat, and swelling in the suprasternal region, who had a positive PCR test for COVID‐19. The result of the secretions culture obtained from the abscess drainage was positive for nonhemolytic Streptococcus.
