Severe thrombosis of abdominal aorta with distal embolism as the only clinical manifestation of COVID-19 infection ; Masivna tromboza abdominalne aorte s distalnom embolijom kao jedina klinička manifestacija COVID-19 infekcije

COVID-19 infection usually presents with respiratory symptoms and fever however several unusual initial presentations of this infection were reported in literature. We report a case of arterial thrombosis as a presenting features of this disease without any other COVID-19-related symptoms. This might lead to delayed COVID-19 diagnosis and isolation of suspected patient causing epidemiologic consequences and increased risk of transmission of the virus inside the hospital in time of pandemic unless timely recognized. ; Infekcija COVID-19 se obično manifestira respiratornim simptomima i vrućicom, no u literaturi je opisano nekoliko neuobi-čajenih početnih simptoma bolesti. Prikazujemo slučaj bolesnice s trombozom arterije kao jedinom kliničkom prezentacijom ove bolesti, bez drugih uobičajenih simptoma vezanih uz COVID-19. Ukoliko se pravovremeno ne prepozna, to može rezultirati odgo-đenim dijagnosticiranjem i izolacijom suspektnog bolesnika te uzrokovati epidemiološke posljedice i povećani rizik prijenosa virusa unutar bolnice u doba pandemije.
