Abstract
in English, Turkish

Herein we report a sixteen-year-old female that developed deep vein thrombosis (DVT) while undergoing treatment for H1N1 pneumonia. To the best of our knowledge this is the first report of H1N1/09 infection complicated by DVT in an adolescent patient with no detected risk factors other than immobilization. Healthcare providers should be aware of the possibility of thrombosis in patients with swine-origin influenza, especially in those with additional risk factors.

Burada H1N1 enfeksiyonu için tedavi alırken, derin ven trombozu geliştiren bir olguyu sunmaktayız. Mevcut bilgilerimize gore; H1N1 enfeksiyonu sırasında - immobilizasyon dışında başka hiçbir risk faktörü olmayan - bir adölesanda tromboz gelişimi ilk defa bildirilmektedir. Domuz gribi pandemilerinde özellikle eşlik eden risk faktörleri olanlarda tromboz gelişebileceği akılda tutulmalıdır.

Keywords: Deep venous thrombosis; Swine-origin (pandemic) influenza; children.
