Abstract :

Aim: Bilateral thromboembolic manifestations in mild COVID infection.

Case Presentation: 64-year-old male with no known comorbidities presented to OPD with pain and swelling of the right lower limb, and chest pain. He was found to have bilateral lower limb deep vein thrombosis in venous Doppler and bilateral pulmonary embolism in CT pulmonary angiogram. He improved with medical management.

Conclusion: COVID-19 infection is associated with thromboembolic complications. A high index of suspicion of thromboembolic manifestations secondary to COVID infection even in mild cases should be considered after ruling out other possibilities.
