Acute Limb Ischemia as a Concomitant Manifestation of COVID-19

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a novel virus that causes multi-systemic manifestations identified as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Respiratory tract symptoms are the most commonly seen in infected patients with COVID-19. Hypercoagulability state is the most co...

description Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a novel virus that causes multi-systemic manifestations identified as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Respiratory tract symptoms are the most commonly seen in infected patients with COVID-19. Hypercoagulability state is the most common coagulopathy disorder associated with critically ill COVID-19 patients. Several inflammatory and coagulation factors such as D-dimers and fibrinogen correlate with the degree of pro-thrombotic state and burden of the disease. We describe a case of a 51-year-old man who presented with respiratory pneumonia and concomitant severe bilateral arterial thrombosis followed by right above knee amputation.
