COVID-19 is implicated in triggering autoimmune, dermatologic, and thyroid diseases. We present a first known case of development of Graves' disease and psoriasis vulgaris in a previously healthy male teenager without any family history, diagnosed after COVID-19 infection. Evaluation of “long COVID syndrome” should include thorough history and thyroid evaluation.
