SANDHYA, A. S.; PRAJAPAT, BRIJESH
- Abstract
Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) post varicella infection is a rare complication owing to vascular endothelial damage, accelerated atherosclerosis and antibody-mediated hypercpagulable state. Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a life threatening condition presented with sudden onset dyspnoea and refractory hypoxemia. We report a case of post varicella extensive thrombotic complication which involved deep veins of lower limbs and pulmonary vasculature.
