Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was initially recognized in late December 2019 and has quickly spread globally with over 114 million reported cases worldwide at the time of this publication. For the majority of patients infected with COVID-19, the clinical manifestations are absent or mild. In more advanced cases, severe respiratory dysfunction is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality. However, increasingly, there have been reports of increased thrombotic complications including pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis seen in these patients. We present herein a series of cases of concomitant COVID-19 pneumonia and venous thromboembolism. These cases highlight the importance of clinical and radiologic vigilance to ensure this often clinically silent complication is not missed.
2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)最初于2019年12月下旬被发现,并迅速在全球传播,截至本出版物发布时,全球报告病例超过1.14亿例。对于大多数感染COVID-19的患者,临床表现不明显或较为轻微。在病情更严重的病例中,严重的呼吸功能障碍是发病和死亡的主要原因。然而,越来越多的报告显示,这些患者出现血栓形成并发症的情况有所增加,包括肺栓塞和深静脉血栓形成。我们在此介绍一系列COVID-19肺炎合并静脉血栓栓塞的病例。这些病例凸显了临床和影像学监测的重要性,以确保这一通常在临床上无明显症状的并发症不被漏诊。
