    Severe COVID-19 infection is associated with significant coagulopathy. We would like share a case of an asymptomatic 26-year-old man who tested positive for COVID-19 and had elevated d-dimer levels. Because of inconclusive CTPA findings, V/Q (ventilation/perfusion) SPECT/CT was performed, which confirmed the presence of pulmonary embolism. This case highlights the fact that pulmonary embolism should not be overlooked in a COVID-19 patient who has raised d-dimer levels, even in the absence of symptoms. It also highlights the importance of performing a V/Q study when CTPA results are inconclusive or when there are contraindications for iodinated contrast media.
