A case report on uneventful anticoagulation and persistence of Type 1 Respiratory Failure post severe COVID-19 infection in a patient of Osler–Weber–Rendu syndrome
The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has led researchers worldwide to study the patterns of association of SARS-CoV-2 with different diseases, which have been a prime focus of medical literature. Osler–Weber–Rendu syndrome, also known as hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), is a rare genetic disorder in...

description | The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has led researchers worldwide to study the patterns of association of SARS-CoV-2 with different diseases, which have been a prime focus of medical literature. Osler–Weber–Rendu syndrome, also known as hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), is a rare genetic disorder in which patients present with recurrent epistaxis, nostril manipulations, and multiple arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) along with telangiectasias involving internal organs and mucocutaneous areas. In addition, these AVMs are prone to bleeding or act as a nidus for thrombus formation, apart from other serious complications, such as chronic hypoxemia, anemia, pulmonary artery hypertension, heart failure, and cerebrovascular accidents. Here, we present a case report of a patient who presented with acute onset respiratory complaints, had multiple episodes of epistaxis in the past, and was later diagnosed with HHT as per Curaçao criteria in our hospital. Doppler ultrasound over the left calf region showed an AVM. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) angiography of the chest and abdomen revealed multiple pulmonary and hepatic AVMs along with splenic and uterine telangiectasias and malformations, who on acquiring severe COVID-19 infection developed complications such as anemia, pulmonary artery hypertension, sepsis, acute kidney injury, and post-COVID-19 persistence of Type 1 respiratory failure. Furthermore, the risk-benefit ratio of anticoagulation therapy in such patients with COVID-19 infection is tricky and challenging. However, our patient was prophylactically anti-coagulated with enoxaparin for 12 days with an uneventful outcome. |
