The diagnosis of disseminated intravascular coagulation made easy.

Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation in a Case of Brucellosis Misdiagnosed as Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia Purpura

Disseminated intravascular coagulation.

Known variously as disseminated intravascular coagulation, defibrination consumption coagulopathy or, more simply, as defibrination, disseminated intravascular coagulation is a serious epiphenomenon that occurs most often as a complicating factor of an underlying disease process. Although frequently triggered by underlying disease such as infection or tumor, if not recognized and treated approp...

Venous infarction of the myocardium in a newborn child: an unusual effect of disseminated intravascular coagulation.

A case is described of disseminated intravascular coagulation in a premature female infant, with the unusual and predominating feature of myocardial infarction consequent upon coronary vein thrombosis.Some reference is made to the incidence of coagulation disorders in the newborn and to methods of histological diagnosis.

Plasma Fibrinogen and D-dimer in Children With Sepsis: A Single-center Experience

Background & Objectives:  In sepsis, enhanced fibrin formation, impaired fibrin degradation, and intravascular fibrin deposition lead to a prothrombotic state. The current study aimed at measuring various coagulation parameters to predict an early marker for disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Methods: The current prospective s...

Cerebral involvement with disseminated intravascular coagulation in intestinal disease.

Over a two-and-a-half-year period at the Sheffield Royal Infirmary, six patients developed disseminated intravascular coagulation as a serious complication of intestinal disease. There was clinical evidence of cerebral involvement in all six patients, and small vessel thrombi were demonstrated in the brains of all three cases examined post mortem. Where the true significance of the cerebral dis...
