Abstract

COVID-19 infection usually presents with respiratory symptoms and fever however several unusual initial presentations of this infection were reported in literature. We report a case of arterial thrombosis as a presenting features of this disease without any other COVID-19-related symptoms. This might lead to delayed COVID-19 diagnosis and isolation of suspected patient causing epidemiologic consequences and increased risk of transmission of the virus inside the hospital in time of pandemic unless timely recognized.
