Un cas de COVID-19 compliqué d´embolie avec deux tests PCR initialement négatifs malgré des signes scanographiques

Abstract: La maladie à coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) déclarée en Chine en fin 2019 s´est rapidement généralisée aux autres continents. Son diagnostic se fait par test PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) sur des prélèvements naso-pharyngés. Ce test bien que spécifique est d´une sensibilité moindre comparé à la TDM thoracique. Nous rapportons le cas d´un patient testé négatif à deux reprises et chez qui la TDM retrouvait des signes typiques de COVID-19 et une embolie pulmonaire. Et ce n´est qu´après un troisième test PCR qu´il … Show more

“…The cardiovascular system is far from being an exception. And the main cardiovascular events reported, associated with COVID-19, concern venous thromboembolic diseases (VTED) [ 2 , 3 ]. While VTED can quickly become life-threatening, arterial thrombosis of the limbs is just as urgent and deleterious because of the risk of compromising the functional prognosis, which can lead to amputation [ 2 , 3 ].…”

“…And the main cardiovascular events reported, associated with COVID-19, concern venous thromboembolic diseases (VTED) [ 2 , 3 ]. While VTED can quickly become life-threatening, arterial thrombosis of the limbs is just as urgent and deleterious because of the risk of compromising the functional prognosis, which can lead to amputation [ 2 , 3 ]. Indeed, COVID-19 infection leads to blood hypercoagulability, which causes arterial and venous thrombosis at the peripheral (upper and lower limbs) and central (cerebral, pulmonary, coronary...) levels [ 4 ].…”
