Deep Vein Thrombosis, Pulmonary Thromboembolism, and Pulmonary Infarction: All in one in a Young Male Patient with Pulmonary Tuberculosis

Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) is a known pro-inflammatory state that can predispose individuals to thromboembolic events. We present an uncommon case of a young male with active PTB who developed deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE), and pulmonary infarction as complications during the disease course. This case underscores the critical need for prompt identification of thromboembolic events in patients with tuberculosis, the diagnostic value of Doppler and CT pulmonary angiography, and the successful use of anticoagulation alongside modified ATT in achieving favourable outcomes.
