Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and etiology of pulmonary embolism in children, and to discuss the efficacy and safety of anticoagulation therapy.Methods:The data of 30 children with pulmonary embolism, who were treated with anticoagulation therapy in the Department of Pediatrics, Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University from January 2017 to December 2021, were analyzed retrospectively.The etiology, clinical characteristics, complications, outcomes and prognosis after anticoagulation treatment were analyzed.Results:There were 17 males and 13 females, with an average age of (8.95±2.58) years (age range: 4-13 years). The follow-up duration was 3-59 months.(1) The symptoms included cough in 30 cases (100.0%), fever in 29 cases (96.7%), shortness of breath in 27 cases (90.0%), chest pain in 15 cases (50.0%), hemoptysis in 9 cases (30.0%), bloody secretions under bronchoscopy but no hemoptysis in 4 cases (13.3%), and respiratory failure in 2 cases (6.7%). (2) The protopathy was Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in 23 cases (76.7%), whose symptoms accorded with refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia.About 16 cases (53.3%) were positive for Mycoplasma pneumoniae drug resistance mutation 2063A>G or 2064A>G.Two cases (6.7%) had nephrotic syndrome.One case (3.3%) had purpura nephritis (nephrotic syndrome type). One case (3.3%) was lupus nephritis (nephrotic syndrome type). One case (3.3%) was hereditary protein S deficiency.One case (3.3%) had osteomyelitis and Staphylococcus aureus sepsis.One case (3.3%) had congenital heart disease.(3) Complications included limb thrombosis in 7 cases (23.3%), atrial thrombosis in 2 cases (6.7%), thoracic and abdominal deep venous thrombosis in 2 case (6.7%), cerebral infarction in 2 cases (6.7%), and splenic infarction in 1 case (3.3%). (4) Imaging examination showed that 30 children had lung consolidation/atelectasis (100.0%), and 24 cases had pleural effusion (80.0%). (5) Coagulation function examination suggested D-dimer increased to ≥ 5 mg/L in 21 cases (70.0%). (6) One case (3.3%) was given thrombolytic therapy with urokinase at the acute stage.Nine cases (30.0%) were treated with heparin/low molecular weight heparin.Twenty-one cases (70.0%) first received anticoagulation therapy with heparin/low molecular weight heparin and later took oral anticoagulant.Four cases (13.3%) were treated with Warfarin and 17 cases (56.7%) with Rivaroxaban.The anticoagulant treatment lasted 1-9 months.No recurrence of embolism or sequelae of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension was observed. Conclusions:Infection, especially Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection, is the main cause of pulmonary embolism in children.The symptoms of pulmonary embolism in children are atypical, so it is difficult to distinguish this disease from primary underlying diseases.Bronchoscopy can help find occult pulmonary hemorrhage.Unexplained shortness of breath in children of any age suggests the possibility of pulmonary embolism.Combination of clinical symptoms and necessary examination contribute to early diagnosis of pulmonary embolism.Then selection of appropriate anticoagulant drugs and timely anticoagulant therapy can improve the prognosis of children.
