Hyperviscosity syndrome associated with necrotizing enterocolitis

R D Leake et al. Am J Dis Child. 1975 Oct.

Abstract

Hyperviscosity, or decreased fluidity secondary to increased numbers of red blood cells, leads to tissue hypoperfusion. We report the case of an infant with hyperviscosity who died from necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), and describe the presumptive association between NCE and hyperviscosity.
