After contracting the virus and recovering from it, a severe inflammatory reaction developed in the woman's body that caused blood clots in the area of ​​her palm • "We must not forget that corona can cause multi-systemic disease"

An 86-year-old woman from Italy lost as a result of coronary heart disease in which she suffered three fingers of a forearm.

An article on the acute phenomenon, which has more cases and evidence in the world, was published by gynecologists in a European journal.

The doctors explained that "as a result of the corona virus, a very severe inflammatory reaction developed in the woman's body that caused blood clots and symptoms similar to heart attacks and strokes."

It is important to note that this is not the only case where the body's response to the corona virus results in this severe phenomenon.

A 54-year-old man from the state of California lost two fingers for exactly the same reason: blood clots that blocked the blood flow to his fingers. 

The British Daily Mail noted that such a case was also reported in the kingdom itself, of a man from the city of Cardiff in Wales, who lost a thumb and another finger and a half after suffering a severe corona, and was connected to a heart-lung machine for 61 days. 

Regarding the Italian woman, the doctors say that when she first came to the hospital, she was diagnosed with low blood pressure reminiscent of a heart attack or stroke.

The low blood pressure is one of the characteristics of coronary heart disease and is caused as a result of the body's inflammatory response to the disease, a reaction that causes the blood to clot and the formation of clots that endanger the person. 

As a result, the medical staff treated the woman with blood thinners and performed a positive return corona test.

It is important to note that the woman did not have severe symptoms of the disease throughout her treatment.

She later recovered from the virus and was released to her home, but returned to the hospital after a month when the fingers in her hand began to turn black. 

Doctors found that as a result of the body's response to the corona, blood clots clogged the blood vessels to the fingers, effectively causing the tissue to die there.

Following the situation, the doctors returned to give her comprehensive treatment for blood thinners, but they had to amputate three fingers. 

The Daily Mail subsequently contacted Professor Graham Cook, a senior researcher at the British National Institutes of Health who is the research arm of the British Health Organization NHS, and he was not surprised by the information.

"It is very important to understand that the corona virus causes a multi-systemic disease in the body," he said. 

"One of the important features of the disease is the phenomenon of other blood clots. This factor makes corona a more serious disease than other viral diseases, and it can later cause damage that will lead to blood clots that damage organs or liver, intestines and kidneys. Can also cause embolism. "Lung - a blood clot in health - and also increases the risk of stroke, heart attacks, severe leg pain, difficulty walking or even loss of an organ," added Prof Cook.
