The mechanisms by which the novel SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus causes coagulopathy are still being studied (1,2). Herein we present a case of a 38-year-old man admitted to the intensive care unit for severe COVID-19 infection. Work-up for fever of unknown origin revealed bilateral deep venous thromboses, and a mechanism of hypercoagulability in COVID-19 infection that is not well-defined in the emerging literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
