Abstract

Novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) primarily involves the respiratory system. Consumptive coagulopathy is seen in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and multi-organ failure (MOF). Usually, only severely sick patients develop mild thrombocytopenia. We present a case of mildly symptomatic young adult, presenting with severe thrombocytopenia. She responded well to corticosteroids.
