Abstract

A case of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and fatal myocardial infarction in a haemophilia B patient is described. DIC occurred after 4 days of therapy with unactivated prothrombin complex concentrates during the post-operative period. Therapy with fresh frozen plasma, heparin and antithrombin III concentrates was started without efficacy; after autopsy myocardial infarction was evident.
