Late onset pulmonary embolism in young male otherwise healthy COVID-19 patients 2020-09-23 .txt text/plain 1424 85 49 SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with increased risk of thrombosis in severely ill patients but little is known about the risk in outpatients with mild to moderate disease. Studies showed reduced mortality in hospitalized COVID-19 patients treated vs not treated with anticoagulants in patients with a sepsis-induced-coagulopathy (SIC) score ≥ 4 or D-Dimer > 6 times upper limit of normal [4] . We describe a case series of four outpatients with proven SARS-CoV-2 infection who developed pulmonary embolism (PE) with a delay of 2-4 weeks after symptom onset with complete resolution of initial symptoms. The characteristics of outpatients who are suitable for anticoagulation have to be determined.In conclusion, new onset of dyspnea and tachycardia after initial resolution of COVID-19 symptoms ("disease trajectory characterised by two peaks") should raise suspicion of PE and a CT scan should be considered. ./cache/cord-293710-f1tzt6jb.txt ./txt/cord-293710-f1tzt6jb.txt
