COVID-19 has not spared a single system in the human body. Although acute respiratory failure culminating sometimes in death remains the most common manifestation of severe infection, hypercoagulability leading to deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), and stroke have also been identified widely. Here, we describe a young patient with a COVID-19 infection who developed right basilic vein thrombosis. This case demonstrates how thrombosis can occur in uncommon sites and how clinicians should be vigilant for thrombotic complications in both the inpatient and outpatient settings.
新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)对人体的各个系统都有影响。虽然严重感染最常见的表现仍是急性呼吸衰竭,有时会导致死亡,但高凝状态导致的深静脉血栓形成(DVT)、肺栓塞(PE)和中风也已被广泛发现。在此,我们描述一名感染COVID-19的年轻患者,其出现了右侧贵要静脉血栓形成。该病例表明血栓可在不常见的部位发生,以及临床医生在住院和门诊环境中都应警惕血栓形成并发症。
