In the early era of COVID-19, characterization of long-term complications was unfeasible. But in early 2021, the authors came across a patient with a new diagnosis of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) that was highly suspected as being secondary to a previous COVID-19 infection. The similarities of this anomaly to Hodgkin Lymphoma occurring after Epstein Barr Virus prompted the authors to perform a qualitative review of the literature for a possible pathway of how COVID-19 can cause AML.
在新冠疫情早期,对长期并发症进行特征描述是不可行的。但在2021年初,作者遇到一名新诊断为急性髓系白血病(AML)的患者,高度怀疑该病继发于先前的新冠病毒感染。这种异常情况与爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒感染后发生的霍奇金淋巴瘤的相似性,促使作者对文献进行定性综述,以探寻新冠病毒导致急性髓系白血病的可能途径。
