Abstract

Viral Induced Coagulopathy (VIC) as a clinical presentation is seen in Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and Viral Hemorrhagic fevers (VHF). SARS-COV-2 is predominantly a thrombus generating disease whereas bleeding is observed in VHF. Although diagnosis may not be complicated, management may pose considerable challenges.
