COVID-19 predominantly affects the respiratory system. As a novel disease, understanding of its management and complications continues to grow. Herein, we present a case of almost complete splenic infarction in a patient with COVID-19 pneumonia. This case highlights the need to maintain diagnostic vigilance whilst investigating secondary complications of COVID-19. It is also important to stress the high incidence of thromboembolic complications in patients with COVID-19, which may occur anywhere in the vasculature.
COVID-19 主要影响呼吸系统。作为一种新型疾病，对其治疗和并发症的认识仍在不断发展。在此，我们报告了 1 例 COVID-19 肺炎患者几乎完全脾梗死的病例。该病例强调了在调查 COVID-19 的继发性并发症时保持诊断警惕性的必要性。还需要强调的是，COVID-19 患者的血栓栓塞并发症发生率很高，可能发生在血管的任何部位。
