Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been reported in almost every country in the world since December 2019. Infection with SARS-CoV-2 is often asymptomatic or with mild symptoms, but it may also lead to hypoxia, a hyperinflammatory state, and coagulopathy. The abnormal coagulation parameters are associated with thrombotic complications, including pulmonary embolism in COVID-19, but little is known about the mechanisms. The similarity of initial symptoms of both diseases can also be confusing, therefore the physicians should be aware of the potential for concurrent conditions. Herein, we present a case who did not have ground-glass opacities in the lungs, yet presented with pulmonary embolism and pleural effusions in association with COVID-19 infection.
自 2019 年 12 月以来，几乎世界上每个国家都报告了 2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）。感染 SARS-CoV-2 通常无症状或症状轻微，但也可能导致低氧血症、过度炎症状态和凝血功能障碍。异常的凝血参数与血栓并发症有关，包括 COVID-19 中的肺栓塞，但对其机制知之甚少。两种疾病的初始症状相似也可能会造成混淆，因此医生应该意识到同时存在的可能性。在此，我们报告了一例 COVID-19 感染患者没有肺部磨玻璃影，但出现了肺栓塞和胸腔积液。
