We report a case of polyvalvar disease and recurrent thrombosis in a 2-year-old boy due to primary antiphospholipid antibody syndrome. His diagnosis was delayed, and he was treated for other diagnoses, including culture-negative endocarditis. Primary antiphospholipid antibody syndrome is rarely discussed in the pediatric cardiology literature, and this case highlights the need for early diagnosis to prevent recurrent valve dysfunction and thrombosis.
我们报告一例2岁男孩因原发性抗磷脂抗体综合征出现多瓣膜病和复发性血栓形成的病例。他的诊断被延误,曾接受包括血培养阴性的心内膜炎在内的其他疾病的治疗。原发性抗磷脂抗体综合征在儿科心脏病学文献中很少被讨论,该病例凸显了早期诊断以预防瓣膜功能障碍复发和血栓形成的必要性。
