Pulmonary embolism in adolescents Full Text
Chinese Medical Journal, 04/13/2012

If adolescent patients complain of dyspnea or chest pain or syncope with/without fever, and they had risk factors such as surgery, thrombocytopenia and trauma, PE should be considered and included in the differential diagnosis.
