Abstract:
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is characterized by an overwhelming inflammatory response in a subset of patients, resulting in respiratory compromise, multiorgan failure, and death. A common complication seen in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 infections is the development of venous and arterial thromboemboli. This occurs especially in patients who suffer from severe respiratory or systemic manifestations on the COVID-19 spectrum of disease. We present a case of acute limb ischemia as the initial presentation in a patient who tested positive for COVID-19.
