Pneumonia unmasking APLA syndrome
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RECENT TRENDS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 2014, Vol 9, Issue 3
Abstract
Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome can mimic various other illnesses. We present a patient who presented with features suggestive of consolidation but actually had pulmonary embolism. Despite anticoagulation, she developed cortical vein thrombosis within a short span of time. She improved with continued treatment. Timely clinical suspicion aided quicker recovery and reduced financial burden by avoiding excessive investigations.
