Acquired von Willebrand syndrome is a rare entity with approximately 700 cases described in the literature. Many etiologies are responsible for this condition, mainly lymphoproliferative and myeloproliferative syndromes, as well as cardiac diseases. Several mechanisms have been involved depending on the etiology. Viral infections are an extremely rare cause, with one case reported after an EBV infection. In this case report we describe the very likely association between SARS-CoV2 infection and the development of a time-limited acquired von Willebrand syndrome.
