Document: Since the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic started, new challenges have emerged regarding the management of coronavirus-infected patients. One of the most known devastating complications associated with COVID-19 is hypercoagulability. This can lead to severe disability or even death, especially in critically ill patients with known chronic comorbidities such as hypertension (HTN) and diabetes. D-dimer and clinical condition are among the most important tools currently used by clinicians to guide therapy and anticoagulation prophylaxis. Here we present a case of a COVID-19-infected patient with no known comorbidities and mild elevation in initial D-dimer level who had a rapid deterioration ultimately leading to death within weeks of admission.
