Introduction:
Coronaviruses are RNA viruses with viral spike (S) which binds to host
angiotensin-converting enzyme 2.1 It spreads via
respiratory droplets between close contacts. The virus may remain
infectious in aerosols for hours and on surfaces up to days. Infection
may be asymptomatic or may result in an acute respiratory disease with
fever, shortness of breath, and cough. Bilateral pneumonia, acute
respiratory distress syndrome, or death may occur.1Some patients have experienced gastrointestinal symptoms such as
diarrhea or other atypical symptoms.2 Hypertension,
heart disease, and chronic lung disease are risk factors for severe
disease. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has brought many unique
pathologies, such as hypercoagulability which can cause various
thromboembolic complications, especially in critically ill
patients.3 Herein, we present a case of recurrent
arteriovenous (AV) graft thrombosis in the hemodialysis patient
diagnosed with COVID-19.
