Tecnologico de Monterrey, 27746 School of Medicine and Health Sciences, Nuevo Leon, Mexico.
Background/objective: Deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism have been described as complications in previously diagnosed COVID-19 patients, especially in those admitted in critical ill units, but, to our knowledge, there is no report of venous thromboembolism in an otherwise asymptomatic COVID-19 patient.
Methods: We report the case of a 22-year-old female, healthy patient with pulmonary embolism (Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index Score 22 points, low risk) and extensive proximal deep vein thrombosis as a unique clinical manifestation of the new coronavirus disease.
Results: The patient had no risk factors and no familial history of venous thromboembolism.
