Title: COVID Toes: Concurrent Lower Limb Arterial and Venous Thromboembolism in a Patient with COVID-19 Pneumonitis Presenting with Foot Ischaemia. Cord-id: y3fz3b6j Document date: 2021_9_30
ID: y3fz3b6j
Snippet: We present a 74-year-old gentleman, who presented with foot ischaemia requiring bilateral amputation in the absence of radiological signs of occlusive peripheral arterial disease. He was found to have COVID-19 pneumonitis and concurrent arterial and venous thromboemboli despite no initial respiratory symptoms or signs, nor pre-existing risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Patients who present with foot ischaemia with or without respiratory symptoms or signs warrant a high index of suspicion

Patients who present with foot ischaemia with or without respiratory symptoms or signs warrant a high index of suspicion for COVID-19 infection, particularly in those with no predisposing risk factors.
