Résumé
This is an interesting and unexpected thromboembolic event in a hemophiliac patient. This is a case of a 33-year-old primigravidarum of Indian Asian origin with Factor V and Factor VIII deficiency who developed a case of pulmonary embolism during the course of her pregnancy after presenting to the emergency department in Leicester, United Kingdom, with hemoptysis, tachycardia, and tachypnea. Patient was subsequently diagnosed with pulmonary embolism after a computed tomography pulmonary angiogram and was treated with therapeutic daltaparin, a low-molecular-weight heparin. In conclusion, a thromboembolic event is not an improbable event in a hemophiliac patient and should be considered despite a low Well's score.
