Abstract

Many COVID-19 vaccines have been used on the population all over the world. Not much is known about the vaccines and their adverse effects. A middle-aged lady got fever, body ache, and cutaneous lesions suggestive of disseminated intravascular thrombosis (DIC) almost immediately after COVID vaccination with very high D-dimer level in blood. She was successfully managed with timely initiation of treatment with steroids, anticoagulation, and antibiotics.
