Tricuspid valve thrombus and pulmonary embolus in an infant with homozygous thermolabile methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase and heterozygous prothrombin G20210A variant.

Abstract excerpt

We describe an unusual and interesting case of a full-term infant presenting at 7 days of life with HSV pneumonitis and a tricuspid valve thrombus ultimately requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. The infant subsequently developed a pulmonary embolus. The infant was found to be heterozygous for the prothrombin G20210A mutation and homozygous for the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase C667T mutation. The...
