Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is serious public health problem in India and worldwide. The mortality rate in pulmonary TB is high in those with advanced disease and in presence of complications. It presents with wide variety of complications of which haematological complications are rare. Many cases were reported pulmonary TB associated with deep venous thrombosis, hepatic and portal venous throm...

To evaluate the risk factors associated with an increased risk of symptomatic peripherally inserted central venous catheter (PICC)-related venous thrombosis. Retrospective analyses identified 2313 patients who received PICCs from 1 January 2012 to 31 December 2013. All 11 patients with symptomatic PICC-related venous thrombosis (thrombosis group) and 148 who did not have thromboses (non-thrombo...

BACKGROUND Injuries increase the risk of venous thrombosis. So far, most research has focused on major injuries that are accompanied by other risk factors for venous thrombosis, such as plaster casts and surgery. We studied the association of venous thrombosis with common minor injuries, such as minor sural muscle ruptures and ankle sprains. METHODS We performed a large, population-based, cas...

This study determined the prevalence of inherited factor V Leiden mutation in a group of 128 thrombosis patients (102 with venous thrombosis and 26 with arterial thrombosis) attending a hospital in Sousse, Tunisia, and a control group of 100 with no history of thrombosis. Using an allele-specific PCR amplification technique, factor V Leiden was found in significantly more patients (20.3%) than ...

Cerebral venous thrombosis is an uncommon, but important cause of stroke due to its high morbidity. Though conventional catheter based angiography is becoming replaced by newer, noninvasive imaging modalities, it still plays an important role in the evaluation of patients with suspected sinus or venous thrombosis. Techniques of angiography, normal anatomy and variants, and pathological drainage...

AIM To determine the prevalence of factor V Leiden mutation in patients with different presentation of venous thromboembolic disease and healthy individuals in the Republic of Macedonia. METHODS The retrospective case control study involved 190 patients with venous thromboembolic disease and 200 healthy individuals, who were screened for the presence of factor V Leiden mutation, using a polym...

cerebral venous thrombosis, including thrombosis of cerebral veins and major dural sinuses, is an uncommon disorder in the general population. however, it has a higher frequency among patients younger than 40 years of age, patients with thrombophilia, pregnant patients or those receiving hormonal contraceptive therapy or has foreign body such as catheter in their veins or arterial system. in th...

Objectives: Venous thromboembolis is a clinical condition that often occurs from deep vein thrombosis of lower extremity. The incidence of deep venous thrombosis in the etiology of pulmonary thromboembolism may be as high as 90%. Doppler ultrasonography of lower extremities is recommended generally to determinate the etiology of pulmonary thromboembolism. The aim of this study is to present the...
