Transient Anti-Phospholipid Antibodies in Two Patients With COVID-19.

We report two cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in patients who developed pulmonary embolism and transient anti-phospholipid antibodies. At the time of presentation with acute pulmonary embolism, both patients had leukocytosis and increased levels of anti-cardiolipin antibodies, which resolved at testing 12 weeks after initial presentation. Studying cases of pulmonary embolism and increased anti-phospholipid antibodies in the context of COVID-19 could be one of the factors for elucidating the possible connection between severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection, anti-phospholipid antibodies, and thrombosis.
