Platelets and coagulation in infection

Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a frequent complication in sepsis that is associated with worse outcomes and higher mortality in patients. In addition to the uncontrolled generation of thrombi throughout the patient's vasculature, DIC often consumes large quantities of clotting factors leaving the patient susceptible to hemorrhaging. Owing to these complications, patients often ...

Coagulation factor interaction with platelets.

Since the initial observation that bleeding is stopped by a platelet plug, it has been clear that platelets play an important role in hemostasis. Patients with very low platelet counts (thrombocytopenia) or with disfunctional platelets have a bleeding diathesis. With the further observation that the platelet plug becomes interwoven with fibrin, it has become clear that platelets interact with t...
