ABSTRACT
We report a case of a 63-year-old man with adult respiratory distress syndrome and pulmonary infarction. The patient presented with fever, dyspnea, pleuritic chest pain, and acute respiratory failure, and we applied mechanical ventilation and steroid therapy. Pulmonary infarction and diffuse alveolar damage were confirmed by open-lung biopsy. Diffuse alveolar damage activated the blood coagulation system, resulting in thrombosis in the pulmonary vasculature. After anticoagulation therapy, the patient improved rapidly. We report a rare pulmonary infarction caused by diffuse alveolar damage confirmed by open-lung biopsy.
