The severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic continues to affect millions of people and impact health-care delivery worldwide. New data and insights into the diagnosis and treatment of SARS-CoV-2 are emerging rapidly. Several prognostic biomarkers have been studied in patients with SARS-CoV-2. Among those biomarkers is the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). We report the case of a 46-year-old male with a history of colon cancer who was found to have an elevated CEA level during routine surveillance. Further workup confirmed a diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection. The CEA level normalized with the resolution of the infection.
