Identified in December 2019, SARS-CoV-2 quickly spread worldwide with a resultant increase in global morbidity, mortality, and economic disruption on a scale not seen since the 1918 Spanish flu. Health officials recommended universal masking to further reduce human-to-human spread of SARS-CoV-2. The state of Hawaii and the Department of Defense (DOD) adopted strict mask policies early in the pandemic and is shown to be effective at reducing transmission. We report a case of bacteremia in an immunocompetent 21-year-old man attributed to local skin irritation with resultant infection in the setting of continuous reuse of a mask that resulted in bilateral cavernous venous thrombosis and septic pulmonary embolism.
2019年12月被发现的严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）迅速在全球传播，导致全球发病率、死亡率上升，经济受到破坏，其规模自1918年西班牙流感以来未见。卫生官员建议普遍佩戴口罩以进一步减少SARS-CoV-2的人际传播。夏威夷州和国防部（DOD）在疫情早期就采取了严格的口罩政策，且已证明该政策在减少传播方面有效。我们报告一例21岁免疫功能正常男性的菌血症病例，该病例归因于局部皮肤刺激，在持续重复使用口罩的情况下引发感染，导致双侧海绵窦静脉血栓形成和脓毒性肺栓塞。
