    A young man developed severe leg ischemia and gangrene following a respiratory infection, potentially linked to viral-induced arteritis mimicking Buerger's disease. Histology revealed segmental arteritis and thrombi, leading to bilateral leg amputation.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Vascular Surgery
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • A 26-year-old male presented with thrombophlebitis and subsequent ischemic events.
    • The patient experienced recurrent myocardial ischemia and critical limb ischemia.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the potential link between a viral infection and the development of arteritis.
    • To explore the differential diagnosis of Buerger's disease (thromboangiitis obliterans) in the context of viral infections.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical case presentation detailing the patient's symptoms and progression.
    • Diagnostic workup including electrocardiography, echocardiography, and histological examination of arterial biopsies.
    • Serological testing for viral titers (Coxsackie B2 and B6).

    Main Results:

    • The patient underwent bilateral leg amputation due to gangrene.
    • Histopathological findings showed segmental arteritis with recanalized thrombi in lower limb arteries.
    • Slightly elevated titers for Coxsackie virus B2 and B6 were detected.

    Conclusions:

    • The findings suggest a possible viral etiology for arteritis presenting with features similar to Buerger's disease.
    • Acute respiratory infection may act as a trigger for this rare vascular complication.
