A 40-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for COVID-19. He had been treated for essential thrombocythemia (ET). He was diagnosed severe illness of COVID-19, oxygen therapy and dexamethasone were administered. There was a possibility of thromboembolic events in this case, apixaban for prophylaxis was added.
