Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) which is declared as a global pandemic by WHO in March 2020, initially started as a respiratory disease with pneumonia, the cause being the novel coronavirus called as the severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) in Wuhan, China. In addition to respiratory symptoms which were seen initially, the virus is recognized to have different manifestations including seizures, meningitis, diarrhea and coagulopathy. Here we report a case of 60 year old female patient who had dry gangrene of left upper arm due to arterial thrombosis to highlight the association of coagulopathy in patients with mild symptoms of COVID-19.
