Abstract :
Introduction: COVID-19 infection can cause a wide range of complications, from respiratory infection to skin rashes. Case Presentation: Here, we report a case of a 73-year-old woman with left brachial artery thrombosis 2 weeks after the onset of COVID-19 infection, leading to left upper limb ischemia. Conclusions: Given the life-changing nature of limb ischemia that can lead to amputation, it is crucial to consider it from the beginning of COVID-19 infection and think of preventive measures in this pandemic.
