The emerging disease caused by a novel coronavirus with a high transmission rate, predominantly pulmonary symptoms and a reported mortality rate ranging between 2.0-4.4% has become a global pandemic [1, 7, 8] , and the infection can cause systemic involvement including respiratory, neurological and hematopoietic complications [3, 4] . In another study which observed the hematologic impacts of COVID-19, 20 % of patients showed abnormalities that included mild thrombocytopenia as severe as it has been reported in other viral infections such as dengue fever [14] . Severe thrombocytopenia has been reported in one case of COVID-19 that was associated with pulmonary symptoms as well as neurological complications [15] . ./cache/cord-273641-8l57mnjt.txt ./txt/cord-273641-8l57mnjt.txt
