İntravenöz Uyuşturucu Madde Bağımlısı Hastada Gelişen Septik Pulmoner Emboli

Year 2014, Volume: 5 Issue: 6, 180 - 182, 01.06.2014

Abstract

Giriş: Septik pulmoner emboli (SPE), septik flebitteki enfekte
fibrin trombüsten akciğere embolizasyon sonucu pulmoner
damarlarda tıkanıklık olmasına bağlı gelişen pulmoner enfarkt
ve pulmoner enfeksiyon tablosudur. Pulmoner embolinin
nadir görülen bir alt tipi olan SPE klinik olarak ateş, solunum
sıkıntısı ile başvurur ve radyolojik görüntülemede akciğerlerde
infiltrasyon görülür. SPE’nin toraks bilgisayarlı tomografisinde
akciğer periferinde çoklu hava kistleri, çoklu, küçük diffüz
bronkopomoniyi taklit eden opasiteler, akciğer periferinde kama
şeklinde opasiteler, akciğerde bilateral nodüller ve nodüllerde
kavitasyonlar görülebilir.
Olgu Sunumu: Otuz dört yaşında erkek hasta bir haftadır olan
göğüs ağrısı, sırt ağrısı, nefes darlığı, öksürük ve balgamla kan
gelmesi şikayeti ile acil servisimize başvurdu. Hastanın 15 yıldır
sigara kullanmakta ve 10 yıldır eroin bağımlısı olduğu öğrenildi.
Çekilen akciğer grafisinde her iki akciğerde multiple diffüz
opasiteler mevcuttu. Toraks tomografisinde her iki akciğer
parankiminde solda daha belirgin olmak üzere multiple hiperdens
nodüler lezyonlar görüldü. Bu bulgularla hasta SPE öntanısı ile
yoğun bakıma yatırılarak tedavi edildi.
Sonuç: Semptomları uyumlu olan ve predispozan faktörleri olan
hastalarda radyolojik bulgular da mevcutsa akla SPE getirilmelidir.
SPE yönetiminde erken tanı, uygun antimikrobiyal tedavinin
hemen başlanması, ekstrapulmoner enfeksiyon kaynağının da
tedavisi önemlidir.

Septic Pulmonary Embolism in a Patient Who Was an Intravenous Drug Addict

Abstract

Introduction: Septic pulmonary embolism (SPE) is a pulmonary infarction and infection that is caused by pulmonary embolization from an infected fibrin thrombus that occludes the pulmonary arteries. SPE is a rare subtype of pulmonary embolism clinically characterized by fever, respiratory distress, and pulmonary infiltrates seen on radiological imaging. In the chest computed tomography of SPE, multiple air cysts; wedge-shaped opacities in the periphery of the lungs; multiple diffuse, small opacities mimicking bronchopneumonia; bilateral nodules; and cavitary nodules in the lungs can be seen.Case Report: A 34-week-old male patient presented to our emergency department with complaints of chest and back pain, shortness of breath, and coughing up bloody sputum. The patient was addicted to heroin for 10 years and was a smoker for 15 years. In his chest x-ray, multiple diffuse opacities were present in both lungs. Thoracic computed tomography revealed multiple hyperdense nodular lesions in both lung parenchyma. Since these findings were consistent with SPE, the patient was hospitalized in the intensive care unit for further treatment.Conclusion: The initial clinical and radiological features are often not specific to the disorder, and therefore, it is difficult to make the diagnosis. In patients with predisposing factors, if symptoms and radiological findings are compatible with SPE, the diagnosis should be kept in mind. In this article, we present the case of a 34-year-old male patient who was an intravenous drug addict and was diagnosed with SPE
