Popis: | A patient with septicemia caused by beta-hemolytic streptococci developed severe renal failure. Laboratory studies suggested disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and there was thrombocytopenia and decreased level of P & P. Fibrin/fibrinogen degradation products (FDP) were increased for more than two months indicating continuous dissolution of intravascular fibrin deposits. It is remarkable that this type of reaction was induced by Gram-positive bacteria of a species known to possess fibrinolytic properties. |
