Özet
A 22 year-old female patient presented with septic pulmonary embolism (SPE) due to infective arthritis with demonstrative thorax CT images that provided early diagnosis and showed the evolution of radiological lesions. Thoracic CT revealed multiple nodular lesions and areas of consolidation with various sizes on both lung fields. Some of them were cavitating and some were pleurally based. Methicillin sensitive Staphylococcus aureus was obtained on culture as the etiologic agent. Clinical improvement was observed on the 6th day of treatment and the radiological improvement was achieved within a 2 month period.
