The article presents a clinical case of recovery from COVID-19 of a 101-year-old patient who has been living in a nursing home and disabled for four years. Medical history of the patient includes more than 5 chronic diseases. Senile asthenia, fall syndrome and cognitive impairment are predominant among the main geriatric syndromes. Coronavirus infection caused by the COVID-19 virus was complicated by polysegmental pneumonia. The presented clinical case confirms the possibility of recovering not only older and senile patients, but also centenarians. For a good outcome of the disease, timely diagnosis and correct therapy are required.
