Isolated Basilic Vein Thrombosis as a Rare Presentation of COVID-19 in a Young Patient

COVID-19 has not spared a single system in the human body. Although acute respiratory failure culminating sometimes in death remains the most common manifestation of severe infection, hypercoagulability leading to deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), and stroke have also been identif...

description COVID-19 has not spared a single system in the human body. Although acute respiratory failure culminating sometimes in death remains the most common manifestation of severe infection, hypercoagulability leading to deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), and stroke have also been identified widely. Here, we describe a young patient with a COVID-19 infection who developed right basilic vein thrombosis. This case demonstrates how thrombosis can occur in uncommon sites and how clinicians should be vigilant for thrombotic complications in both the inpatient and outpatient settings.
