摘要

本病例报告描述了一名30岁男性静脉注射药物滥用史一年的脓毒性肺栓塞(SPE)的影像学表现。患者最初在我院急诊科表现为高热、呼吸急促和咳嗽。经胸片、血培养、超声心动图、CT肺血管造影检查,确诊为SPE,病原菌为金黄色葡萄球菌。在本病例报告中,我们讨论了SPE的胸部x线表现和特征性CT成像表现,并描述了不同的成像方式在及时诊断和治疗这种高度致命疾病中的作用。

Acute Pulmonary Embolism with Multiple Septic Emboli and Pulmonary Infarcts in an IV Drug Abuser with Right-Sided Endocarditis: A Case Report
This case report describes the imaging findings of septic pulmonary embolism (SPE) in a 30-year-old male with a history of intravenous drug abuse for one year. The patient initially presented with high grade fever, shortness of breath, and cough in the emergency department of our institution. The patient was evaluated by chest X-ray, blood cultures, echocardiography, and CT pulmonary angiography which confirmed the diagnosis of SPE, and the causative organism was confirmed to be Staphylococcus aureus. In this case report, we discuss the Chest X-ray findings, and characteristic CT imaging findings of SPE and describe the role of different imaging modalities in the timely diagnosis and management of this highly fatal condition.
