Zusammenfassung:Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has developed as a pandemic and has caused thousands of deaths worldwide. It may be complicated with arterial or venous thrombosis; however, the literature for concerning these symptoms is limited. Here, we report a rare presentation of COVID-19 infection in a 49-year-old female patient, who presented with acute lower limb ischemia one day before the development of the classic symptoms for COVID-19, such as fever and dyspnea. Clinicians should have a high suspicion and awareness of COVID-19 infection in patients presenting with acute lower limb ischemia, especially during the pandemic period.
