Since the beginning of the Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, elevated D-dimer levels as an acute-phase reactant have been reported in some patients. Additionally, the patients with pneumonia are at increased risk of developing thromboembolic events. Diagnosing acute pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis can be challenging in SARS-CoV2-positive patients. Here, we report four patients with COVID-19 pneumonia to highlight the possibility of acute thromboembolism in these patients. The physicians should be aware of this complication and even consider prophylactic anticoagulant therapy in proper clinical settings. Alikhani F, Aalinezhad M, Haji Rezaei M, Akbari P, Hashemi M. Coronavirus Disease-2019 Pneumonia and Pulmonary Embolism: Presentation of Four Cases. Indian J Crit Care Med 2020;24(9):873-876.
自2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）疫情开始以来，一些患者报告了作为急性期反应物的D-二聚体水平升高。此外，肺炎患者发生血栓栓塞事件的风险增加。在新型冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV2）阳性患者中诊断急性肺栓塞和深静脉血栓形成可能具有挑战性。在此，我们报告4例COVID-19肺炎患者，以强调这些患者发生急性血栓栓塞的可能性。医生应意识到这种并发症，甚至在适当的临床情况下考虑预防性抗凝治疗。 阿利哈尼F、阿拉内扎德M、哈吉·雷扎伊M、阿克巴里P、哈希米M。2019冠状病毒病肺炎与肺栓塞：4例报告。《印度重症监护医学杂志》2020年；24（9）：873 - 876。
