“…Septic pulmonary embolism is an unusual condition characterized by the implantation of infected thrombi into the pulmonary vasculature, primarily originating from different infectious sites. This results in a parenchymal infection that typically presents with an insidious onset of fever and respiratory symptoms, including cough, shortness of breath, pleuritic chest pain, and lung infiltrates [1] . While it has been considered rare in children, recent studies suggest a continuous increase in its incidence rate, among all the children in the community, PE incidences range from 0.14 to 0.90 per 100,000 per year [2] .…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
