Abstract:
A 35 year old male had a generalized seizure a week after symptoms of daily fever, rigors, and throat discomfort. He was hospitalized. Magnetic resonance imaging brain showed multiple bilateral scattered infarcts. COVID-19 swab test came positive. An elaborate panel of tests for young strokes, cardiac work-up was normal. At home, he complained of some visual blurring, slowing in thought processing, occasional loss of words. His face became significantly pigmented. A young male, COVID-19 positive, showed multiple scattered infarcts. Exaggerated pro-thrombotic activity of the nature of a cytokine storm, is the probable cause.
