Pulmonary embolism in a young male with tuberculosis and factor V Leiden.
There is no doubt that venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a complex and multicausal disease. Tuberculosis (TB) itself is found to have thrombogenic potential. There is an association between tuberculosis and VTE. We present a case of a 31-year-old male diagnosed with TB after a 2-month delay. He was treated with an anticoagulant for pulmonary embolism (PE) complicated by pulmonary infarction, and ...

متن کاملFactor V Leiden and perioperative risk.
Factor V Leiden (FVL) is the most common known inherited cause of thrombophilia; it is present in approximately 5% of the Caucasian population. Although the risk of venous thrombosis associated with this polymorphism in various medical settings is well described, its effect on perioperative risk is only beginning to be explored. Specifically, there are few studies addressing the potential risks...
متن کاملFactor V leiden and morbid obesity in fatal postoperative pulmonary embolism.
HYPOTHESIS Currently, the risk for postoperative acute pulmonary embolism (APE) is assessed clinically. We hypothesize that the expensive screening for the most common genetic thrombophilic clotting defect (factor V Leiden; R(506)Q) after exclusion of established clinical risk factors does not offer additional benefit to surgical patients. DESIGN We reviewed protocols and histories from 8249 ...
متن کاملRisk Factor for Pulmonary Embolism
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common disease with high morbidity and mortality, yet it is a disorder that is difficult to diagnose (Stein & Matta, 2010). 90% of the clinical PE originates from the proximal deep veins of the lower extremities. An ultrasonographic study involving patients diagnosed with pulmonary embolism detected thrombus in 29% of the deep veins (Anderson et al., 1991). Failure ...
