Abstract
Since the first SARS-CoV-2 case in humans wasreported at the end of 2019, a pandemic of COVID-19 disease spread around theworld, causing not only respiratory symptoms, but also a hypercoagulable statein some patients with severe forms of infection. In this case report we present a young male patient with nocomorbidities, who presents in the ER with severe abdominal pain. Physical examination,laboratory tests and imaging showed
acute portal, splenic and mesenteric veinthrombosis. After he had been hospitalised the nasopharyngeal swab was positivefor SARS-CoV-2. He was treated in ICU UH Dubrava for COVID-19 patients (PRIC) withtherapeutic doses of low molecular weight heparin, and when the PCR swab forSARS-CoV-19 was negative, he was transferred to Haematology ward where theyperformed tests and excluded some of the most common diseases
associated withhypercoagulability, and in a good condition he was discharged from thehospital.
