During this pandemic, physicians should consider COVID‐19 in patients with unexplained thrombosis.[Image: see text] A 52-year-old Japanese man who was a current smoker and had a medical history of dyslipidemia presented with fever, a 14-day history of malaise, and a sore right foot for 2 days. He had no medical history of any thrombosis-predisposing illnesses such as stroke, myocardial infarction, superior mesenteric arterial occlusion, or peripheral arterial occlusion. On examination, the patient had hypoxemia, with an SpO 2 level of 83% on ambient air, peripheral cyanotic discol- (Table S1 ). COVID-19 may predispose patients to thrombosis in both arterial and venous circulations. 4 This is an open access article under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. as an underlying condition in patients with unexplained thrombosis.
