Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is primarily a febrile respiratory illness first documented in December 2019 in Wuhan, China that was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on March 11, 2020 [1]. At the time of this writing COVID 19 infections have impacted 191 counties, and the death toll stands at 1,488,513 [2]. COVID-19 infection is known to cause coagulopathy and an inflammatory state [3], but there are few case reports involving COVID-19 related spontaneous bleeding outside of disseminated intravascular coagulation [3].
