An unusual case of long COVID has resulted in a man's legs turning blue after 10 minutes of standing.
The 33-year-old patient has developed a condition called acrocyanosis, which is when leg veins don't allow blood to flow back up to the heart and instead collect in a pool. A minute after standing, his legs begin to redden and then become increasingly blue over time as his veins become more prominent. An itchy sensation then develops.The patient started to experience the condition after catching
. It also saw him diagnosed with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome , which causes an abnormal increase in heart rate when standing.Author Dr Manoj Sivan, from the University of, said it was important to raise awareness of acrocyanosis being a potential side effect of long COVID. He added:"Patients experiencing this may not be aware that it can be a symptom of long COVID and may feel concerned about what they are seeing.Advertisement

Associations Among Menstrual Cycle Length, Coronavirus... : Obstetrics & Gynecologyy tracked cycle-length data from users of a period tracker application who also responded to a survey regarding COVID-19 symptoms and vaccination. We restricted our sample to users aged 16–45 years, with normal cycle lengths (24–38 days) and regular tracking behavior during the five cycles around COVID-19 symptoms or vaccination or a similar time period for those experiencing no event (control group). We calculated the within-user change in cycle length (days) from the three consecutive cycles preevent average (either vaccination, disease, or neither; cycles 1–3) to the event (cycle 4) and postevent (cycle 5) cycles. We used mixed-effects models to estimate the age- and country-adjusted difference in change in cycle length across the groups. RESULTS: We included 6,514 users from 110 countries representing 32,570 cycles (COVID-19 symptoms: 1,450; COVID-19 vaccination: 4,643; control: 421). The COVID-19 cohort experienced a 1.45-day adjusted increase in cycle length during cycle 4 (COVID-19) compared with their three preevent cycles (95% CI 0.86–2.04). The vaccinated group experienced a 1.14-day adjusted increase in cycle length during cycle 4 (COVID-19 vaccine) compared with their preevent average (95% CI 0.60–1.69). The control group (neither vaccine nor disease) experienced a 0.68-day decrease (95% CI −1.18 to −0.19) in a similar time period. Post hoc tests showed no significant differences in the magnitude of changes between the COVID-19 and vaccination cohorts. In both cohorts, cycle length changes disappeared in the postevent cycle. CONCLUSION: Experiencing COVID-19 is associated with a small change in cycle length similar to COVID-19 vaccination. These changes resolve quickly within the next cycle....
