| Popis: | Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a global pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Coagulopathy is frequently found in severe cases of COVID-19 and is usually manifested as a prothrombotic state. Hyperinflammation, endotheliitis, and immobilization during illness are hypothesized to play a role. Acute limb ischemia (ALI) is one of the presentations of arterial thrombosis in COVID-19. We present two cases of middle-aged men with COVID-19 infection, who developed ALI. The first patient developed ALI after 16 days from the initial COVID-19 diagnosis, and the second patient was admitted to the emergency ward due to sudden discoloration of his right lower limb, and COVID-19 was diagnosed during the evaluation. |
