Pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis are a major cause of hospitalization and cause high mortality. Several risk factors, such as smoking, immobilization, cancer, trauma, OCPs, pregnancy, and surgery, have already been identified. The diagnosis of PE can sometimes rely on high clinical suspicion. We report a case of a young 31-year-old male with no known risk factors, who developed a PE after 5 months of clomiphene therapy.
肺栓塞和深静脉血栓形成是住院治疗的主要原因，且死亡率很高。已经确定了几个风险因素，如吸烟、制动、癌症、创伤、口服避孕药、怀孕和手术。肺栓塞的诊断有时依赖于高度的临床怀疑。我们报告一例31岁的年轻男性病例，他没有已知的风险因素，在服用克罗米芬治疗5个月后发生了肺栓塞。
