Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) which has now been declared a global pandemic, initially began as a pneumonia caused by novel coronavirus called severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) in Wuhan, China. COVID-19, in addition to respiratory symptoms, is also being recognized to have different manifestations including myocardial infarction, seizures, meningitis, diarrhea, and coagulopathy. Here we report a case of a 75-year-old female patient with mild COVID-19 who later developed acute limb ischemia due to arterial thrombosis to highlight that, contrary to the association of coagulopathy with severe COVID-19, thrombosis can also occur in patients with mild COVID-19.
2019年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)现已被宣布为全球大流行疾病,最初在中国武汉表现为一种由新型冠状病毒即严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)引起的肺炎。COVID-19除了有呼吸道症状外,还被认为有不同表现,包括心肌梗死、癫痫发作、脑膜炎、腹泻和凝血病。在此,我们报告一例75岁轻症COVID-19女性患者,该患者后来因动脉血栓形成而发展为急性肢体缺血,以强调与凝血病和重症COVID-19的关联相反,轻症COVID-19患者也可能发生血栓形成。
