COVID-19(Corona virus disease 2019), which starts from Wuhan, China on December, 2019 spread rapidly to different countries of the world including Bangladesh. It affects huge impact on health care system. It’s a new disease with multisystem involvement. Physicians are experiencing new presentation of different cases and rare complication including arterial thrombosis. Few data is available regarding arterial thrombosis in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients. We are currently fighting with a 60 year old lady suffering from COVID-19 pneumonia with other co-morbidities developed severe arterial occlusion of right leg despite of taking anti platelet for long time for another cause. Patient developed irreversible right lower limb ischemia not improving with continuous infusion of unfractionated heparin followed by severe pulmonary embolism. So further study and recommendations will need to evaluate the cases and treatment in COVID-19 Patients with rare presentation.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to present a better understanding of the specialized telehealth service in Bangladesh from the service provider and service recipients by aged people Method: Both quantitative and qualitative methods were used to collect data from Diabetes Mellitus (DM) patients. Data were collected by online telephone interviewing with an interview schedule. A total of 100 aged people with diabetes were selected purposively for a quantitative interview and 10 In-depth Interviews (IDIs) & Key Informant Interviews (KIIs) were conducted. Result: The majority of patients aged was between 61 to 68 years with a mean age of 63.6 ± 7.01years. The difference of age of DM patients by sex was found statistically significant (x2 = 39.49, df = 31; Cramer’s V = .032; P=<.003). The main source of information about digital health was: relatives (55%), neighbors (31%), television (12%), newspaper (10%), social media (9%), and healthcare providers (6%). Strong relationship was found between age of respondents and sources of information (x2= 77.08; Cramer’s V= .032, df = 13; Sig; P= < .009). About 59% of DM patients were benefited from telehealth services during COVID-19, however; they encountered some difficulties like effective access to digital technology, cost, and diagnosis facilities. About 83% of respondents suggest formalizing community engagement programs to extend the digital health services during a health emergency. The common barriers to the engagement of community people in digital health care are lack of social awareness, lack of peer group support, and gender disparities. Poor counseling, language barrier, bad internet signal, and lack of family members' support were the key barriers during teleconsultation services. Conclusion: Telehealth has the potential to address critical health issues of aged people and effective community engagement may be the best option to reach older people with diabetes in Bangladesh during any health emergency.
