This 25-year-old woman suddenly developed shaking
chills, confusion, and a temperature of 103° F. On physical examination, she hadnumerous petechiae in her palpebral and bulbar conjunctiva (top image) and over
the shoulders, arms and upper anterior part of her chest (bottom images).
90. systemic fat embolism
Thirty hours before onset of her fever and chills,
this patient fractured her right femur in an auto-pedestrian accident. Sheultimately made a full recovery without receiving antibiotics.
In patients with recent fracture of the long bones,
the best (and often the first) evidence of systemic fat embolism is the abruptappearance of petechiae in a characteristic distribution—conjunctivae, base of
neck, axillae, and upper anterior part of the arms, shoulders, and chest. If thepetechiae develop at all, they usually become visible 24 to 36 hours after the
injury. They typically persist for three to four days, then fade rapidly. Theirnumber has no relation to prognosis.
The sudden appearance of fever, chills, and
petechiae ordinarily suggests infection, particularly meningococcemia. But ifthe history indicates recent fracture of a long bone, systemic fat embolism is
likely.
