ABSTRACT
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a highly contagious novel infection that predominantly presents with fever and respiratory symptoms. However, COVID-19 can masquerade as an acute coronary syndrome, leg pain or swelling with venous thrombosis, loss of consciousness with cerebral venous thrombosis, confusion, limb weakness with brain infarction, facial neuralgia, acute conjunctivitis, acute appendicitis, and testicular pain. We report on a 42-year-old man who presented with mild symptoms of COVID-19. The patient's electrocardiogram showed an ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) due to a left coronary thrombosis. The patient was managed conservatively with medicines and had an uneventful recovery. Emergency physicians should have a high index of suspicion for the unusual presentations of COVID-19.
