Of the 206 patients who contracted Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in Singapore five developed large artery cerebral infarctions. Four patients were critically-ill and three died. Intravenous immunoglobulin was given to three patients. An increased incidence of deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism was also observed among the critically-ill patients. We believe our experience warrants an increased vigilance against stroke and other thrombotic complications among critically-ill SARS patients in future outbreaks, especially if treatment such as intravenous immunoglobulin, that increases pro-thrombotic tendency, is contemplated.
在新加坡感染严重急性呼吸综合征(SARS)的206名患者中,有5人发生了大动脉脑梗死。4名患者病情危急,3人死亡。3名患者接受了静脉注射免疫球蛋白治疗。在病情危急的患者中还观察到深静脉血栓形成和肺栓塞的发生率增加。我们认为,我们的经验表明,在未来的疫情爆发中,对于病情危急的SARS患者,应提高对中风和其他血栓并发症的警惕,特别是如果考虑使用增加血栓形成倾向的治疗方法,如静脉注射免疫球蛋白。
