Uma jovem de 19 anos, doente de hanseníase do tipo virchowiano com surtos freqüentes de reação hansênica (eritema nodoso), faleceu subitamente após 10 minutos de dispnéia, vómitos alimentares e dores fortes no tórax. A autópsia revelou trombose parcialmente organizada da veia cava inferior, de que se originou tromboembolo ocluindo o tronco principal da artéria pulmonar, causa da morte súbita, com evidências de "car pulmo-nale" agudo (hepatomegalia congestiva) Nenhuma das causas habituais de flebotrombose foi demonstrada. Os exames histopatológicos e bacterioscópicos, aliados a considerações imunopatológicas, levantam a possibilidade de que a embolia pulmonar estaria relacionada com a reação hansênica (eritema nodoso).
