Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a potentially lethal condition, although frequently diagnosed, and is rarely associated with transit on initial presentation. Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) can cause both arterial thrombus formation and venous thromboembolism. The two forms of HIT must be differentiated in order to guide management. We present a complex and unique case of PE in transit secondary to HIT diagnosed in a patient with a negative serotonin assay.
肺栓塞(PE)是一种潜在的致命疾病,尽管其诊断较为常见,但在初次就诊时很少与血栓移行相关。肝素诱导的血小板减少症(HIT)可导致动脉血栓形成和静脉血栓栓塞。必须区分这两种形式的HIT以指导治疗。我们报告了一例复杂且独特的病例,该患者血清素检测呈阴性,诊断为继发于HIT的移行性肺栓塞。
