Abstrakt:	COVID-19, which is caused by the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), is known to cause a myriad of complications along with the typical lower respiratory tract involvement. One of the emerging complications is a hypercoagulable state leading to venous or arterial thromboembolism. These complications are more common in those presenting with a severe disease with significantly elevated inflammatory markers. Although co-morbid illnesses play a role in worsening such complications, yet they are not the main determinants as these complications also occur in those without any co-morbid illness. Here, we report a case of a 64-year-old male with severe COVID-19 pneumonia presenting with acute limb ischemia with a non-salvageable limb who required subsequent amputation of the affected limb.
