Abstract
|
|
|
During the pandemic, few patients have suffered from severe pneumonia leading to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and multiple organ dysfunction necessitating prolonged intensive care with higher mortality. Although sepsis and ARDS represent hypercoagulable states, acute pulmonary thromboembolism is rarely encountered in influenza infection. Fifty five year old female patient admitted with pneumonia associated with influenza A infection, progressed into ARDS. Pulmonary thromboembolism was detected by CT scan and treated with anticoagulants. This is the first case report of acute pulmonary thromboembolism in a patient with pandemic influenza (H1N1 2009) in Korea.
