Unveiling the Enigma: Blue Legs, a Peculiar Long COVID Symptom

A 33-year-old man with long COVID experienced an unusual symptom of purple discoloration in his legs when standing, which subsided when reclining. The condition, known as acrocyanosis, is linked to dysautonomia, a condition that can occur after viral infections. The patient also reported symptoms of brain fog and tremors consistent with orthostatic intolerance syndrome. Increasing awareness about these uncommon symptoms is crucial for proper patient management and to avoid unnecessary concern among both the public and medical community. A recent study has narrowed down the predominant symptoms of long COVID to palpitations, fatigue, hair loss, joint pain, chest pain, shortness of breath, and obesity.
