Right atrial thrombus and pulmonary embolism in a young adult with COVID‑19 and tuberculosis coinfection: a case report
This case highlights the rare occurrence of a right atrial thrombus in COVID-19, possibly exacerbated by TB co-infection. Early detection and tailored treatment, including surgery, are crucial to lowering mortality in these high-risk patients, but further research is needed to establish optimal management strategies and confirm the role of TB in thrombotic complications.
