Abstract

Pulmonary embolism is one of the major contributors to morbidity and mortality worldwide. Infections are risk factors for pulmonary embolism, especially if severe and acute. Pulmonary tuberculosis has also been reported as a risk factor for pulmonary embolism. Acute massive pulmonary embolism is a life-threatening emergency. Main goal of the treatment is to reestablish the diminished or stopped pulmonary artery flow quickly and prevent early and late recurrences. For this purpose, thrombolytic therapy is the first choise for the treatment. Herein, we present a 52- year-old male patient with massive pulmonary embolism and right heart thrombus who was treated successfully with thrombolytic therapy. In this case, lung tuberculosis was diagnosed while looking for secondary causes.

Özet

Pulmoner emboli tüm dünyada önemli bir morbidite ve mortalite sebebidir. Enfeksiyonlar özellikle şiddetli ve akut fazında pulmoner emboli için bir risk faktörüdür. Akciğer tüberkülozunun da pulmoner emboli için bir risk faktörü olduğu bildirilmiştir. Akut masif pulmoner emboli, yaşamı tehdit eden bir acil durumdur. Tedavideki amaç tıkanmış pulmoner arter akımının hızla yeniden sağlanması ve erken tekrarlamaların önlenmesidir. Bu amaçla, trombolitik tedavi ilk sırada başvurulacak tedavi yöntemidir. Bu yazıda, masif pulmoner emboli ve sağ kalp trombüsü ile başvuran, trombolitik tedavi ile başarılı olarak tedavi edilen 52 yaşında bir erkek hastayı sunuyoruz. Bu olguda pulmoner embolinin sekonder etyolojisinde akciğer tüberkülozu teşhis edilmiştir.
