Abstract:
Septic pulmonary embolism occurs when septic material separates from its source and infiltrates the pulmonary parenchyma, resulting in substantial clinical symptoms. Here we report a 13-year-old female patient admitted to the hospital with a fever and chest discomfort. In the past days, she had bilateral limb pain, which induced traditional cauterization in the bilateral inguinal regions. On inspection, she had edema and erythema at the cauterization site, indicating wound infection. Multiple lung nodules were discovered on computed tomography, indicating SPE. High-dose antibiotics were started immediately after debridement. SPE is frequently associated with deep tissue infections, and cases of SPE following minor traumas are uncommon.
