COVID19 infection does not only affect the airways but it appears to progress to systemic disease in some patients. Pulmonary embolism remains the most commonly described event in patients with COVID-19 in intensive care, however, arterial thrombosis of the upper and lower limbs remains an unrecognized complication. Patients with this condition who have other risk factors must imperatively receive thromboprophylaxis based on low molecular weight heparin. We report here a case of bilateral acute ischemia of the lower limbs following covid 19 infection.
