This article presents a clinical case of newly diagnosed megaloblastic anemia in a 15-yearold teenager girl from the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), in combination with intercurrent disease COVID-19. The new coronavirus infection occurs rapidly on the background of of suppressed hematopoiesis, with the development of complications in the form of community-acquired bilateral severe polysegmental pneumonia and bilateral exudative pleurisy, which required observation and treatment in a hospital. The performed standard complex therapy for megaloblastic anemia and pneumonia caused by SARS-CoV-2 made it possible to achieve clinical and laboratory improvement in the patient and restore the function of the red bone marrow.
