A 22-year-old female with no previous morbidities presented with acute onset neurological symptoms in the form of hemi sensory phenomenon. On evaluation she had fever and routine COVID-19 RT-PCR testing turned out to be positive. During the course of hospital stay she developed classical features of acquired TTP. Her ADAMTS 13 level was 36% of normal activity suggestive of direct viral mediated thrombotic microangiopathy. High vWF levels and low ADAMTS 13 activity is reported in COVID-19 Infection. In rare cases like ours this can mimic classical TTP.
