As coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) continues to spread world-wide, new symptoms associated with the disease continue to appear. Common manifestations include fever, shortness of breath, and gastrointestinal illness. In addition, COVID is known to induce coagulopathy. Here, we present the case of a 17-year-old male who presented with a massive hemopneumothorax and was found to incidentally be positive for Covid-19. We suspect that he had a primary pneumothorax from a bleb and the hemothorax could've been induced by the coagulopathic state induced by COVID infection.
随着2019冠状病毒病(Covid-19)在全球范围内持续传播,与该疾病相关的新症状不断出现。常见表现包括发热、呼吸急促和胃肠道疾病。此外,已知新冠病毒会引发凝血病。在此,我们报告一例17岁男性病例,该患者出现大量血气胸,经检测意外发现新冠病毒呈阳性。我们怀疑他原发性气胸由肺大疱引起,而血胸可能是由新冠病毒感染诱发的凝血病状态所致。
