Abstract

Although severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 is primarily known for its significant and potentially fatal pulmonary manifestations, case reports and literature review have linked the infection to multiple organ systems, including hematological manifestations. Scattered among these reports are cases of lymphopenia and neutropenia as well as evidence of children presenting in hypercoagulable states related to COVID-19. We present a case describing a pediatric patient who presented with leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, and severe neutropenia: a unique combination based on the current literature.
