Abstract
Covid‐19 has emerged as a global threat that has claimed millions of lives until now. Haematological manifestation as an initial presentation of this deadly virus is not frequently reported in the literature. We hereby report a case series of asymptomatic patients with severe thrombocytopenia which was later found to be Covid induced.Keywords
