Most serious complication of Covid-19 infection is internal blood clotting particularly in pulmonary tissue endangering life. Early detection of the clotting process can prevent many cases of mortality due to pulmonary tissue thrombosis. During Covid-19 or immediately after nonspecific symptoms (like fever, myalgia or cough )of the infection disappear gradual clotting of blood may import serious complication like pulmonary thrombosis and resulting increase mortality. Increased ferritin or D-dimer level is somewhat a late finding of blood clotting. So, abnormal platelet clumping in peripheral blood should be the earliest finding of internal blood clotting or DVT. We observed in two female cases ( age 42 and 55) of clinically diagnosed DVT leg that peripheral blood shows abnormal clumping. We started rivaroxaban 10mg daily and found gradual improvement. The drug was continued for 4 weeks. Both the patients are now doing well.
