DISCUSSION : Mrs Gurpreet 40 year old hypothyroid patient, presented to the emergency
room with chief complaints of generalised weakness since 3 days, nausea and vomiting since
1 day.At presentation, she was conscious oriented,had facial puffiness and oral candidiasis.
Her Bp was 80/? and saturation 100% on 4L face mask. She was shifted to medical hdu on
inotropic supports with a working diagnosis of shock under evaluation. Central venous
pressure was 24 , hence her intake was restricted . She was initiated on inj Meropenem, Inj
Targocid, tab itraconazole and other supportive measures . She was continued on inotropic
supports till her Blood pressure stabilised. Relevant blood and urine investigations were done
which revealed thrombocytopenia. However, she did not have bleeding manifestations or
require transfusion. In the background of thrombocytopenia, febrile serology including
dengue IgM were sent which was negative. Echo was done in view of her unexplained
hypotension and it revealed severe pulmonary hypertension without any functional cardiac
defect. She was started on diuretics as tolerated and doses were titrated appropriately. Hrct
chest was done and pulmonary causes of pulmonary hypertension was ruled out. As part of
further evalutaion on the above regard, autoimmune workup was done which revealed ANA
SSB , SCL 70 and hep2 positivity. Updated diagnosis of severe pulmonary hypertension
secondary to scleroderma/ mixed connective tissue disorder was made. Cect abdomen and
usg abdomen was done which showed portal vein thrombosis and coarse echo texture of
liver. Hence, Apla and autoimmune hepatitis workup was also done. She was started on tab
hydroxychloroquine. Oral anticoagulants were initiated in view of thrombosis, PT INR was
monitored and need titration of doses.Patient is currently stable and is being dicharged on
request with the following recommendations.
