Acquired Factor X deficiency is a rare hematological disease, characterized by excessive bleeding, with fewer than 50 cases reported in the literature and practically all being associated with amyloidosis. We describe a case of a 38-year-old man with no known family history of hematologic disorders who had symptoms of a mild COVID-19 infection. Upon resolution, he developed excessive bleeding features, including epistaxis and hematuria. It was later found that while the rest of the coagulation factors were within normal limits, Factor X was 7% of the normal value, which reversed about two months after recovery. Our case highlights the significance of the less-expected post-COVID bleeding complications, in contrast to the classically seen thrombotic ones.
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.
