Abstract
Background: This is an interesting and unexpected thromboembolic event in a hemophiliac patient.
Case presentation: This is a case of a 33-year-old primigravidarum of Indian Asian origin with Factor V and Factor VIII deficiency who developed a case of pulmonary embolism during the course of her pregnancy after presenting to the emergency department in Leicester, United Kingdom, with hemoptysis, tachycardia, and tachypnea. Patient was subsequently diagnosed with pulmonary embolism after a computed tomography pulmonary angiogram and was treated with therapeutic daltaparin, a low-molecular-weight heparin.
Conclusion: In conclusion, a thromboembolic event is not an improbable event in a hemophiliac patient and should be considered despite a low Well's score.
背景:这是一名血友病患者发生的有趣的意外血栓栓塞事件:这是血友病患者发生的一起有趣而意外的血栓栓塞事件:这是一例 33 岁印度裔亚洲初产妇的病例,她患有因子 V 和因子 VIII 缺乏症,在怀孕期间因咯血、心动过速和呼吸急促前往英国莱斯特市的急诊科就诊,随后出现肺栓塞。患者随后在接受计算机断层扫描肺血管造影后被诊断为肺栓塞,并接受了低分子量肝素达肝素治疗:总之,血友病患者发生血栓栓塞并非不可能,尽管韦氏评分较低,仍应考虑血栓栓塞。
期刊介绍:
JMCR is an open access, peer-reviewed online journal that will consider any original case report that expands the field of general medical knowledge. Reports should show one of the following: 1.
