Bleeding is associated with viral hemorrhagic fevers; however, thromboembolic complications have received less attention. Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) is a mild viral hemorrhagic fever caused by Puumala hantavirus. We previously identified HFRS as a risk factor for
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) patients in clinical remission are reported to have increased baseline inflammation. Normal function of the natural anticoagulant pathways is particularly needed in diminishing inflammatory responses. In the presence of subclinical inflammation, natural
The levels of protein C (PC) and antithrombin III (AT III) antigens (ag) were measured in the plasma of 39 patients with various histologic types of primary nephrotic syndrome (NS) and in 12 patients with amyloidosis secondary to familial Mediterranean fever (FMF). The controls comprised 15 healthy
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive hereditary disease which is characterized by recurrent attacks of fever and peritonitis, pleuritis, arthritis, or erysipelas-like skin disease. As such, FMF is a prototype of autoinflammatory diseases where genetic changes lead to acute
Background: Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic idiopathic inflammatory disease. Studies show that multiple risk factors during disease progression can lead to a prothrombotic state (PTS), which predisposes the patient to thrombosis.
The aim of our study was to show how the progression and severity of Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is affected by procoagulant activity and alterations in the markers of thrombosis and fibrinolysis. The study cohort comprised 64 FMF patients who were classified as attack-free patients (Group 1;
Venous thrombophilia is the result of clotting changes namely of a hypercoagulable state together with blood flow and vessel wall changes. There is no need for all these components to be present in order for thrombosis to occur. As the matter of fact, thrombosis may occur even if only one of these
BACKGROUND
Trauma patients are known to be at increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), and pulmonary embolism (PE) is one of the preventable causes of mortality in trauma patients. The incidence of VTE in Asian populations was believed to be lower than in Caucasians, but the recent literature
Pulmonary embolus can have insidious onset and unusual etiology. This case report of a 35-year-old woman with hyperthyroidism, atrial fibrillation, and an above-knee amputation demonstrates the subtle presentation of pulmonary emboli. On the rehabilitation ward of a tertiary care hospital, the
Cerebral palsy rates of 2 in every 1,000 births have varied little over the last 40 years, despite improvements in obstetric care. In the past, cerebral palsy was thought to be due to poor obstetric care and management; however, epidemiological studies have refuted this, suggesting that there is
BACKGROUND
Pulmonary thromboembolism and deep venous thrombosis occur in pediatric age, with unknown incidence, morbidity and mortality. Our aim is to review the epidemiology, clinical presentation, complementary diagnostic tests and prognosis of patients with pulmonary thromboembolism and deep
Fever is a presenting sign in some patients with acute deep venous thrombosis (DVT), but its influence on outcome has not been thoroughly investigated. RIETE is an ongoing, international, observational registry of consecutive patients with symptomatic, objectively confirmed, acute venous
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) was recently associated with a hypercoagulable state. However, clinically overt thrombosis remains a rare event limited to patients with other predisposing factors. We herein present a child with FMF who experienced a stroke. An extensive thrombophilia work-up
Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is one of the most severe iatrogenic emergencies in clinical service. The symptoms including sudden consciousness change, critical temperature elevation and electrolytes imbalance followed by mutli-organ system failure were common in NMS. In addition to
