  • Title: Deep venous thrombosis associated with tuberculosis.
    Author: Naithani R, Agrawal N, Choudhary VP.
    Journal: Blood Coagul Fibrinolysis; 2007 Jun; 18(4):377-80. PubMed ID: 17473582.
    Abstract:
    There is an association between inflammation and hemostatic changes that can result in a hypercoagulable state. We report a 34-year-old male who presented with a second episode of deep vein thrombosis. Tuberculosis was diagnosed while looking for secondary causes. The patient was treated with rifampicin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide and ethambutol along with low-molecular-weight heparin and warfarin. Tuberculosis has several mechanisms that induce a hypercoagulable state and can lead to thromboembolic complications.
