Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the legs is a rare but clinically important complication of pneumonia. We report a case of a 51-year-old man who was admitted to the hospital with fever, cough, and dyspnea. Next-generation sequencing confirmed the diagnosis of pneumonia. His D-dimer level was elevated on admission, and ultrasound confirmed DVT in the legs. The patient was treated with intravenous doxycycline for the infection and rivaroxaban as an anticoagulant. His condition gradually improved and he was discharged after making a full recovery. In this paper, we explore the potential association between infection and venous thrombosis, as well as clinical management strategies.
腿部深静脉血栓形成（DVT）是肺炎一种罕见但临床上重要的并发症。我们报告一例51岁男性患者，因发热、咳嗽和呼吸困难入院。下一代测序确诊为肺炎。入院时其D-二聚体水平升高，超声证实腿部存在深静脉血栓。患者接受静脉注射强力霉素治疗感染，并使用利伐沙班作为抗凝剂。其病情逐渐好转，完全康复后出院。在本文中，我们探讨了感染与静脉血栓形成之间的潜在关联以及临床管理策略。
