  • Title: Diagnosis and management of acute promyelocytic leukemia with disseminated intravascular coagulopathy: a case study.
    Author: Meriney DK.
    Journal: Oncol Nurs Forum; 1990; 17(3):379-83. PubMed ID: 2342971.
    Abstract:
    One of the less common leukemias, acute promyelocytic leukemia, is associated with disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC). If patients are able to survive the DIC, there is hope for long-term survival in complete remission and a chance for cure. This case study reviews the disease, risk factors, treatment, and nursing care required by this patient population and compares it to the existing literature.
