Quinine-Induced Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation

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

Renal-limited thrombotic microangiopathy and acute interstitial nephritis with a single dose of quinine

Quinine has been reported to cause acute kidney injury by various mechanisms. The response to quinine can result in a spectrum of problems ranging from isolated thrombocytopenia to thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) to disseminated intravascular coagulation. Quinine has also been reported to cause acute interstitial nephritis (AIN). We report an unusual presentation where both of these entities o...

An electron microscopic study of thrombin-induced disseminated intravascular coagulation.

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...
