摘要
We report a case of spontaneous left pulmonary artery thrombosis in a 3-day-old male neonate. The presentation of hrparin resistance and thrombosis raised the possibility of a type II heparin binding site antithrombin deficiency. A continuous infusion of anrithrombin concentrate was used successfully, following failure of plasma, to correct the heparin resistance. Rapid genetic analysis allowed sequencing of the antithrombin gene within 5 working days. This showed the infant to be homozygous for the substitution of C to T at nucleotide 2759. This base change causes mutation of the native leucine at codon 99 to a phenylalanine. This antithrombin variant has been previously reported (antithrombin Budapest 3) and results in reduced binding of heparin to antithrombin. Such a molecular diagnostic approach is feasible and warranted in such cases of neonatal thrombosis because of the diagnostic difficulties encountered.
