Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has attained a pandemic status and is associated with a high morbidity and mortality. Social isolation, fear of ostracization, and illness itself and limited access to care can lead to worsening of mental illnesses. We report a case from the United States describing a young male with a suicidal attempt who was subsequently found to have COVID-19 infection. Further research is needed to evaluate potential factors for this unique association.
2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）已成为大流行病，且与高发病率和高死亡率相关。社交隔离、对被排斥的恐惧、疾病本身以及获得医疗服务的机会有限，都可能导致精神疾病恶化。我们报告一例来自美国的病例，该病例描述了一名有自杀企图的年轻男性，随后被发现感染了COVID-19。需要进一步研究以评估这种独特关联的潜在因素。
