Pulmonary alveolar hemorrhage following thrombolytic therapy
We report a case of a 58-year-old male without any comorbidities who was thrombolysed with streptokinase for acute anterior wall myocardial infarction and developed massive hemoptysis with dyspnea and imaging features showing bilateral alveolar infiltrates. He was diagnosed with pulmonary alveolar hemorrhage and treated conservatively. His condition improved, and follow-up imaging showed resolu...
متن کاملSpontaneous pulmonary hemorrhage after thrombolytic therapy for acute myocardial infarction.
We report a case of 63-year-old man who developed massive pulmonary hemorrhage following intravenous streptokinase for acute myocardial infarction. Pulmonary hemorrhage was diagnosed by the triad of hemoptysis, a drop in hematocrit, and a new unilateral infiltrate on chest radiograph. This diagnosis was confirmed by autopsy findings. Pulmonary hemorrhage has rarely been reported following throm...

Pulmonary edema is rare in patients with pulmonary embolism and to our knowledge has not been described in association with thrombolytic therapy. We describe a patient with massive pulmonary embolism in whom the adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) developed shortly after a course of streptokinase therapy. The possible association between streptokinase therapy or pulmonary embolism and AR...
متن کاملDiffuse alveolar hemorrhage following itraconazole injection.
Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) syndrome is potentially fatal. We encountered a nearly fatal case of DAH possibly due to intravenous itraconazole (ITCZ). A 53-year-old man with chronic pulmonary aspergillosis underwent pneumonectomy of the left lung 15 days prior to the onset of DAH, which was confirmed by bronchoalveloar lavage. The battery of diagnostic evaluations performed revealed no oth...
متن کاملManagement of airway compromise following thyroid cyst hemorrhage after thrombolytic therapy.
The risk of hemorrhage after therapeutic administration of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is well known. Cases of postadministration hemorrhage have been reported within many organ systems. We present a case of a 62-year-old female with undiagnosed thyroid goiter who received tPA for acute ischemic stroke and developed acute airway compromise. The surgical airway response team was called du...
