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

Low dose endotoxin priming is accountable for coagulation abnormalities and organ damage observed in the Shwartzman reaction. A comparison between a single-dose endotoxemia model and a double-hit endotoxin-induced Shwartzman reaction

The clinical response of sepsis to a systemic inflammatory infection may be complicated by disseminated intravascular coagulation or DIC. In order to experimentally study the syndrome of DIC, we aimed for a severe sepsis model complicated by disseminated coagulation. Most-simplified-experimental models describing coagulation abnormalities as a consequence of sepsis are based on single dose endo...

Significane of intravascular coagulation in canine endotoxin shock.

The contribution of disseminated fibrin clot formation to the pathogenesis of canine endotoxin shock was explored in control dogs and in those defibrinated with a purified fraction of Malayan pit viper venom. The hemodynamic and humoral responses after the administration of an intravenous challenge dose of Escherichia coli endotoxin were comparable as was mortality. It is concluded that, althou...

Purpura fulminans in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis.

© 2009 The Authors. doi: 10.2340/00015555-0733 Journal Compilation © 2009 Acta Dermato-Venereologica. ISSN 0001-5555 Sir, Purpura fulminans (PF) is a rare disorder characterized by thrombosis of dermal vessels and skin necrosis with or without consumptive coagulopathy (1). PF is usually classified into three types: haemostasis-initiated PF or neonatal PF; acute infectious PF; and idiopathic PF ...

Endotoxin in meningococcal infections.

26 children with meningococcal infections were studied to find out the relationaship between plasma and cerebrospinal fluid levels of endotoxin, the clinical outcome, the level of antigen in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid, and indices of complement activation and disseminated intravascular coagulation. No association was found between endotoxin levels and the other factors. A high cerebrospinal...
