Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) which has now been declared a global pandemic, initially began as a pneumonia caused by novel coronavirus called severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) in Wuhan, China. COVID-19, in addition to respiratory symptoms, is also being recognized to have different manifestations including myocardial infarction, seizures, meningitis, diarrhea, and coagulopathy. Here we report a case of a 75-year-old female patient with mild COVID-19 who later developed acute limb ischemia due to arterial thrombosis to highlight that, contrary to the association of coagulopathy with severe COVID-19, thrombosis can also occur in patients with mild COVID-19.
Keywords: arterial thrombosis; coagulopathy; covid-19; limb ischemia; sars-cov-2.
