Immune-inflammatory responses and pulmonary embolism in Catatonia: A report of two cases.

Abstract
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) comprises pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT). PE, as the most severe manifestation of VTE, can cause increased mortality in patients with mental disorders. Here we describe two cases of young male patients with catatonia who developed PE and DVT during their hospital stay. We also discuss the possible pathogenesis, with a focus on immune and inflammatory mechanisms.
