Mesenteric Ischemia in a Case of COVID-19

Abstract

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is now a global threat. Various papers have addressed the pulmonary symptoms of this viral disease. Also, thrombotic complications have been highly prevalent among COVID-19 patients. Reports on rare presentations of COVID-19 can help fast diagnosis and management. In this study, a COVID-19 patient is presented who developed mesenteric ischemia.
