Abstract:
COVID-19 pandemic cases first started in November 2019 in Wuhan, China. However, the origins of the virus remain uncertain. Information and clinical complications of the disease, as well as treatment, continue to evolve in real-time. The latest complication of thrombolytic events of COVID-19 was thrust into the spotlight following the Associated Press report of Broadway star Nick Cordero having to undergo leg amputation for deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in April 2020 and eventually succumbing to the infection. DVT is a subset of venous thromboembolism and is a preventable cause of morbidity and mortality. Here, we describe a woman with serious mental illness developing COVID-19 and DVT complications.
