Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is linked with severe COVID-19, prompting considerable concern. DIC can be a devastating systemic disorder. It is often markedly manifest on the skin as acrocyanosis or as petechiae and purpura with progression to hemorrhagic bullae. Subcutaneous hematomas may occur, as may thrombotic findings including necrosis and gangrene. The most common cause is infection, with special emphasis now on COVID-19. We have reviewed the medical literature under the search terms "Disseminated intravascular coagulation" and "consumption coagulopathy" for the past two decades in the English language using Medline and Google Scholar to update special concerns and considerations, focusing on those with COVID-19. Skin findings with DIC may be prominent. The severity of cutaneous lesions often correlates with the gravity of systemic disease. DIC is most effectively treated by addressing the underlying cause and resuscitating the patient using supportive measures. It is pivotal to recognize and treat DIC early, before deadly complications, such as multiple organ failure, arise.
