Fraga Ricardo Mendes Pereira Antonia Teresinha Tresoldi Medicina pleural adolescent tuberculosis Pulmonary edema pleural effusion Objective: To present a case of a patient with clinical and radiological features of reexpansion pulmonary edema, a rare and potentially fatal disease. Case description: An 11-year-old boy presenting fe - ver, clinical signs and radiological features of large pleural effusion initially treated as a parapneumonic process. Due to clinical deterioration he underwent tube thoracostomy, with evacuation of 3,000 mL of fluid; he shortly presented acute respiratory insufficiency and needed mechanical ventilation. He had an atypical evolution (extubated twice with no satisfactory response). Computerized tomography findings matched those of reexpansion edema. He recovered satisfactorily after intensive care, and pleural tuberculosis was diagnosed afterwards. Comments: Despite its rareness in the pediatric popula - tion (only five case reports gathered), the knowledge of this pathology and its prevention is very important, due to high mortality rates. It is recommended, among other measures, slow evacuation of the pleural effusion, not removing more than 1,500 mL of fluid at once. 2013 otro 0103-0582 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=406038969021 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4060 Revista Paulista de Pediatria application/pdf Sociedade de Pediatria de São Paulo Revista Paulista de Pediatria (Brasil) Num.3 Vol.31 |
