[Disseminated intravascular coagulation syndrome in sepsis in infants]

Abstract

In 40 out of 45 children dead from sepsis in 1974--1976 the development of the syndrome of disseminated intravascular coagulation was proved on the grounds of the pathologic picture. In 27 cases histological changes were combined with characteristic clinico-laboratory manifestations of the syndrome. The latter was not found in 10 children who died of a severe local purulent process.
