Acute Limb Ischemia in COVID-19 Disease: A Mysterious Coagulopathy

Abstract

Severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) as a respiratory tract infection has been noted to be a causative agent for acute respiratory distress syndrome, shock, and multiple organ failure. It is also being suggested that COVID-19 results in serious systemic coagulopathies similar to disseminated intravascular coagulation. We describe a case of severe arterial thrombosis induced by COVID-19 infection along with its pathological implications.
