A Covid-19 Patient with Complement-Mediated Coagulopathy and Severe Thrombosis

Abstract: We report a patient with severe Covid-19-associated coagulopathy and type 2 diabetes mellitus who tested positive for antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL). Analysis of skin specimens suggested direct SARS-CoV-2 viral-induced and complement-mediated vascular injury and thrombosis, consistent with prior reports. Serial aPL testing demonstrated high levels of anticardiolipin antibodies (aCL) that declined to insignificant levels over a period of 5 weeks. SARS-CoV-2 RNA was detected in nasopharyngeal swab specimens o… Show more

“…Bennardo et al Studied Tocilizumab, which is a humanized receptor for interleukin-6 (IL-6R), a monoclonal antibody that inhibits interleukin-6 (IL-6) signaling, used as a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis causing osteomyelitis of the jaw [ 25 , 26 ]. Considering the rheumatic treatment of patients with severe COVID-19 due to high CRP, we can see that this is close to the truth because there are cases of osteomyelitis, necrosis of other bones in the literature [ 27 , 28 ].…”
