Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Pulmonary endarteritis secondary to Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) can present even in silent PDAs. Pulmonary endarteritis is treated with prolonged duration of antibiotics followed by PDA closure. It can also cause septic pulmonary emboli requiring critical care if multi-organ dysfunction ensues.
CASE PRESENTATION: A 9-year-old boy had high grade fever for one week and few nonspecific complaints. Echocardiogram showed PDA with infective endarteritis. Child was admitted with IV antibiotics. CECT chest done for resurgence of fever and need for increased oxygen demand showed multiple septic pulmonary emboli with pulmonary infarction. Surgical closure of PDA prevented further clinical deterioration.
CONCLUSION: This case highlights the poor medical scenario of rural communities of Nepal. Such life- threatening complication can be prevented by timely recognition of the condition which is only possible by implementation of standard, accessible and affordable health care system across the country.
