ABSTRACT
The coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has affected millions around the world. The severe
form of the disease is associated with respiratory distress and thromboembolic manifestations.
Inflammatory markers like C reactive protein (CRP) and D dimer have an independent effect on
disease severity and carry prognostic importance and outcomes. We describe a series of four cases
of COVID-19 patients who had unusual manifestations of thrombosis. The sole aim is to bring
forward the atypical causes and manifestations of COVID induced thrombotic events. Our Case
Series showed rare thrombotic presentations in patients with COVID 19 with the use of
immunomodulators, prolonged ICU stays with few having thrombotic events as sole presentation.
