Conclusion
PE case reports are increasingly rising with the difficult to notice
among HAPE patients given their presentation similarities. A high index
of suspicion based on clinical examination and investigations should
prompt a clinician to include or exclude it. Early diagnosis is key
especially if a patient is not improving despite the measures taken for
managing HAPE. However, further studies are needed to understand more on
the occurrence of PE in high altitudes and the possible development of a
screening tool that could assist in early diagnosis to prevent
development of serious complications.
