Her initial laboratorial findings revealed a normocytic normochromic red blood cell (hemoglobin=12.9 mg/dl, MCV=87 FL), leukocytosis (white blood count=17.1x109/L), and thrombocytopenia (platelet=67.5x109/L) (Figure 1). CT-Angiography revealed submassive emboli in the pulmonary artery extended to the left and right main branchial (Figure 1). Of note, during the episode of PTE, she had normal levels of platelet (Figure 1) and an ELISA essay for anti-PD4 was negative.
