ABSTRACT
In December 2019, the 2019 coronavirus disease, produced by the type 2 coronavirus causing severe acute respiratory syndrome, was identified for the first time. More and more investigations are reporting the occurrence of systemic complications, some of them in a mediate or even late phase of the disease, when the patient has left the hospital. A 30-year-old healthy female patient who came to the hospital fourteen days after being discharged due to viral pneumonia secondary to SARS-COV-2. She presented with intense pain and distal coldness in the right lower limb, dyspnea at rest and pain in the left hypochondrium. The diagnosis at discharge was paradoxical pulmonary thromboembolism. Thrombotic complications should be taken into account in all convalescent COVID-19 patients. An early diagnosis is important to establish anticoagulation.REFERENCES
