Zusammenfassung: | Thrombosis due to hypercoagulable state is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
Increased D-dimer levels are an important marker of the presence and risk of thrombosis. In this report, we present that a 59-yearold
male patient developed thrombosis in the distal radial arteries despite normal D-dimer level. The patient was treated with
enoxaparin, iloprost infusion, and cilostazol. This case should lead us to be very careful that people diagnosed with COVID-19 with
normal D-dimer levels may also have thrombosis. |
