| Popis: | Venous thromboembolic disease is a rare condition in the pediatric population. In the current paper the case of a 17-year-old patient with pulmonary embolism was presented. The patient was admitted to the hospital with signs and symptoms of respiratory infection. The pneumonia was diagnosed and standard doses of antibiotics were introduced, however, no improvement was observed. Because of lingering increase of D-dimer plasma concentration and constant chest pain, laboratory examinations were extended and finally the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism was established. A clinical data, diagnostics and treatment of the patient with pulmonary embolism were presented in this case report. Attention is drawn to the importance of risk factors of thromboembolic disease in pediatric patients. |
