SummaryWe report on a man (age: 49 years), who died from severe meningococcal sepsis with disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), multiple organ dysfunction syndrome and extended skin necrosis. We discuss in detail the pathophysiology of the activation of coagulation and fibrinolysis during sepsis. The article discusses new therapeutic concepts in the treatment of disseminated intravascular coagulation in meningococcal sepsis, too.

We retrospectively assessed the incidence and time course of enlargement in posttraumatic intracerebral haematoma (PTICH). Computed tomography (CT) scans from 165 patients who underwent a scan within 72 h and a repeat scan within 120 h of the onset of trauma were examined. A semi-automated method using region deformation-based segmentation was used to calculate the haematoma volume. The presence of haematoma enlargement was also determined based on a consensus by five observers. Seventy cases (42%) showed enlargement of the haematoma. The frequency of haematoma enlargement decreased as the interval between the onset of trauma and the initial scan increased. The discriminant value of the ratio of the haematoma volume in the second scan to that in the initial scan was ascertained, and the cut-off value for haematoma enlargement was determined to be 1.45. The radiographic criterion for enlargement in PTICH on CT scan was, therefore, defined as a ≥ 1.45 times increase in haematoma volume.

Coagulation And Fibrinolysis

Tests of coagulation and fibrinolysis were performed in 20 patients with severe preeclampsia and in 20 normal pregnant women. Compared with the normal patients, the women with severe pre-eclampsia had raised factor VIII, increased cryofibrinogen and reduced platelet counts. Despite increased resistance to urokinase-induced fibrinolysis, the pre-eclamptic women had lower plasminogen and increased serum and urinary F.D.P. levels. These results suggested that intravascular fibrin deposition was a feature of severe pre-eclampsia. In each test, the range of values in the pre-eclamptic women overlapped with the controls, so that no single test indicated whether intravascular coagulation was present in every case of severe pre-eclampsia. By the use of logistic analysis, it was possible to demonstrate that an abnormality of the coagulation and fibrinolytic systems was present in every case of severe pre-eclampsia. In 10 patients with moderate pre-eclampsia, the severity of the coagulation abnormality was intermediate between the severe cases and the controls.By sequential logistic analysis, it may be possible to anticipate the phase of clinical deterioration and permit delivery before the onset of fetal death. The haemostatic abnormalities would appear to be a constant and inevitable feature of pre-eclampsia.
