Pulmonary Embolism and Increased Levels of D-Dimer in Patients with Coronavirus Disease

We report 3 patients with coronavirus disease who had a decline in respiratory status during their hospital course that responded well to intravenous steroids and interleukin-6 receptor antagonist therapy. These patients later showed development of persistent hypoxia with increased levels of d-dimer...
