COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 has been inducing an ongoing global health and economic emergency. Although viral pneumonia is the most striking presentation for COVID-19 patients, it has been noticed that some patients may also be accompanied with an abnormal liver function.
CT was performed in both lungs, and routine bloodwork and the blood metabolic panel were measured.
Here, we report on a young male patient without any history of live diseases who suffered simultaneously both SARS-CoV-2 caused pneumonia and hepatitis as evidenced by increased serum bilirubin together with increased serum transaminases.
Studies on mechanisms whereby SARS-CoV-2 causing liver damages might provide more information about the pathogenesis of COVID-19 and help management of this global health emergency.
由 SARS-CoV-2 引起的 COVID-19 引发了持续的全球卫生和经济紧急情况。尽管病毒性肺炎是 COVID-19 患者最明显的表现，但已经注意到一些患者可能还伴有肝功能异常。
对双肺进行 CT 检查，并测量常规血液检查和血液代谢指标。
在这里，我们报告了一名年轻男性患者，他没有任何肝脏疾病的病史，同时患有 SARS-CoV-2 引起的肺炎和肝炎，表现为血清胆红素升高和血清转氨酶升高。
对 SARS-CoV-2 导致肝损伤的机制的研究可能会提供更多关于 COVID-19 发病机制的信息，并有助于管理这一全球卫生紧急情况。
