Patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection have an increased likelihood of venous thromboembolism (VTE) owing to factors such as acquired protein C and S deficiency, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, and heightened levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines. This case report highlights an exceptionally uncommon occurrence of deep venous thrombosis in an HIV-infected patient receiving a therapeutic dose of enoxaparin. This underscores the need for cautious consideration of the risk of VTE in HIV-infected individuals, even with preventive or therapeutic anticoagulant treatment. Further research is recommended to investigate HIV as a potential risk factor of prophylactic anticoagulation.
由于获得性蛋白C和S缺乏、抗磷脂抗体综合征以及促炎细胞因子水平升高,人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)感染患者发生静脉血栓栓塞(VTE)的可能性增加。本病例报告强调了在接受治疗剂量依诺肝素的HIV感染患者中发生深静脉血栓形成这一极为罕见的情况。这突出了即使在进行预防性或治疗性抗凝治疗时,也需要谨慎考虑HIV感染个体发生VTE的风险。建议进一步开展研究,以调查HIV作为预防性抗凝潜在风险因素的情况。
