An unusual case of disseminated intravascular coagulation

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

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.

Pulmonary embolism presenting as disseminated intravascular coagulation.

We report an unusual case of disseminated intravascular coagulation. Occult pulmonary embolism is a recognised cause of disseminated intravascular coagulation. Unexplained shock should prompt the physician to search for a thrombotic cause such as pulmonary thromboembolism.

An unusual case of an ulcerative colitis flare resulting in disseminated intravascular coagulopathy and a bladder hematoma: a case report

BACKGROUND Disorders of coagulation have long been associated with inflammatory bowel disease. Children, as well as adults, with both active and inactive ulcerative colitis have been found to have abnormal coagulation and fibrinolysis. Disseminated intravascular coagulation arises from an overwhelming of the haemostatic regulatory mechanisms leading to an excessive generation of thrombin and a ...

Purpura Fulminans following Thermal Injury

Purpura fulminans is a rare syndrome of intravascular thrombosis and hemorrhagic infarction of the skin, which is an unusual cutaneous manifestation of disseminated intravascular coagulation. It often occurs in small children and babies due to infection and/or sepsis, rarely in adults in clinic. We report the first case of deadly purpura fulminans following thermal injury in a 64-year-old Chine...

Septic Shock, Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome, and Disseminated Intravascular Coagulopathy Following Midtrimester Genetic Amniocentesis

BACKGROUND Midtrimester genetic amniocentesis is a commonly performed procedure, with acknowledgment of some risk to mother and fetus. CASE We present an unusual case of midtrimester genetic amniocentesis with bowel injury and resulting septic shock, adult respiratory distress syndrome, and disseminated intravascular coagulation. A total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingoophorectom...
