Article Synopsis
- Pulmonary endarteritis, linked to Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), can occur even when the PDA shows no apparent symptoms, necessitating long-term antibiotic treatment and eventual PDA closure.
- A 9-year-old boy exhibited high fever and non-specific symptoms, leading to the discovery of PDA with infective endarteritis and multiple septic pulmonary emboli, which resulted in pneumonia and oxygen demand issues.
- The case emphasizes the urgent need for improved healthcare access and recognition of such complications in rural Nepal, suggesting that timely intervention could significantly reduce life-threatening risks.
