The management of patients with prolonged viral shedding and coronavirus disease 2019 symptoms remains unclear. Combining antivirals, as practiced in other infections, is theoretically advantageous. We present a case of persistent, symptomatic severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection and associated organizing pneumonia that was successfully treated with an extended course of combination antiviral therapy.
