Rare Thrombotic Complications of COVID-19: A Case Series

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is known to manifest with bilateral pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome. This infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SAR-CoV-2) is alarming because it not only affects the respiratory system but may also cause thromboembolic...

description Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is known to manifest with bilateral pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome. This infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SAR-CoV-2) is alarming because it not only affects the respiratory system but may also cause thromboembolic events. Multiple studies have reported procoagulation/hypercoagulable complications in COVID-19. This case series is a valuable addition to the literature because it reflects unique presentations of thrombotic events in COVID-19 patients. We report two cases in which patients presented with thromboembolic complications secondary to COVID-19 infection: one with severe bowel ischemia and the other with blue toe syndrome. To formulate management strategies to prevent fatal outcomes for patients with COVID-19, physicians must be vigilant in identifying life-threatening thromboembolic complications from this disease.
