Resumen
Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) first emerged in December 2019 in China and rapidly spread worldwide. While various studies have reported that COVID-19 is associated with a hypercoagulable state and thrombotic complications in critically ill patients, there are scant case reports on thrombotic events as one of the presenting symptoms. We report a case of acute upper extremity ischemia as the initial clinical presentation of a COVID-19 patient.
