When HAPE cases do not improve rapidly with descent, other diagnoses, including PE, ought to be considered. From 2013 to 2015, we identified eight cases of PE among 303 patients with initial diagnosis of HAPE. Upon further evaluation, five had deep vein thrombosis (DVT). One woman had a contraceptive ring and seven patients had no known thrombotic risks. PE can coexist with or mimic HAPE and should be considered in patients presenting with shortness of breath from high altitude regardless of thrombotic risk.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1089\/ham.2016.0008","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,10,21]],"date-time":"2016-10-21T14:24:01Z","timestamp":1477059841000},"page":"353-358","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Pulmonary Embolism Masquerading as High Altitude Pulmonary Edema at High Altitude"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Prativa","family":"Pandey","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"CIWEC Hospital","place":["Nepal"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Benu","family":"Lohani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital","place":["Nepal"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Holly","family":"Murphy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CIWEC Hospital","place":["Nepal"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,10,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_1","first-page":"197","article-title":"Thrombosis as a complication of extended stay at high altitude","volume":"14","author":"Anand AC","year":"2001","unstructured":"Anand AC, , Jha SK, , Saha A, , Sharma V, , and Adya CM.
