We report our experience with Ang-2 for septic shock in a critically ill patient with COVID-19. He became hypotensive and required ABBREVIATIONS: ACE = angiotensin-converting enzyme; ACE2 = angiotensin-converting enzyme 2; Ang-2 = angiotensin II; COVID-19 = coronavirus disease 2019; SARS-CoV = severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus; SARS-CoV-2 = 2019 novel coronavirus On ICU day 2, the SARS-CoV-2 polymerase chain reaction result was positive. ./cache/cord-322212-8xrehbd1.txt ./txt/cord-322212-8xrehbd1.txt
