Abstract

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an evolving situation worldwide, which is associated with a broad range of symptoms from pneumonia/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) to multiorgan failure. So far, we have also encountered several patients with coagulopathy, including pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis. A few cases of limb ischemia related to COVID-19 have been reported as well, but most of them involve critically ill patients. In this report, we discuss a case of COVID-19 in a patient who presented with right thumb ischemia without any significant respiratory symptoms.

Keywords: covid-19; digital ischemia; lmwh; thrombosis.
