Abstract
Coronavirus disease has myriad manifestations and can present with predominantly extrapulmonary manifestations. We describe a 50-year-old man, a person living with HIV (PLHA), a non-Hodgkin lymphoma survivor, who presented with isolated severe thrombocytopenia. He was found to have immune-mediated thrombocytopenia, and showed excellent response to intravenous immunoglobulins.
