The Lancet’s Clinical Picture published a paper in August detailing a rare case of a 33-year-old man in the United Kingdom with long COVID who developed a peculiar bluish discoloration in his legs. The case report has since raised concerns over unknown symptoms of the disease.
About six months ago, the individual noticed that after a minute of standing, his legs would start to darken and progressively turn purple, and his veins became more prominent. After about 10 minutes, the discoloration became even more pronounced. According to the patient, his legs would feel heavy, tingly, and itchy. However, upon lying down, his leg color would return to normal, and the other symptoms would subside.
