Abstract

Corona Virus Disease-2019 (COVID-19), a global health emergency shows a wide spectrum of clinical presentations and manifestations with dry cough, fever and shortness of breath being the most common symptoms. Available evidences shows that COVID-19 can be complicated by thrombotic manifestations. High index of clinical suspicion and early initiation of prophylactic or therapeutic dose of anti-coagulants is needed to prevent the occurrence of life-threatening thrombosis. We hereby present two cases of COVID-19 which had thrombosis at the time of initial presentation itself.
