Septic Pulmonary Embolism Revisited. A Case Report and Points to Ponder
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF MEDICAL COLLEGE CHANDIGARH - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
Septic pulmonary embolism is a common but under-diagnosed condition that mimics bacterial pneumonia and tuberculosis. We describe the successful management of a case of septic pulmonary embolism who was misdiagnosed as tuberculosis. Early suspicion and echocardiography helped to clinch the diagnosis. The case is supported by a concise review highlighting key points regarding its management
