  • Title: Disseminated intravascular coagulation in patients with meningococcal infection: laboratory diagnosis and prognostic factors.
    Author: Vik-Mo H, Lote K, Nordøy A.
    Journal: Scand J Infect Dis; 1978; 10(3):187-91. PubMed ID: 715382.
    Abstract:
    In 36 patients with meningococcal infection a close association between the laboratory evidence of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and unfavourable prognostic factors was established. Patients with platelet count lessthan 100000/microliter, Normotest lessthan 50% and plasma fibrinogen concentration less than 100 mg/dl had a serious prognosis. No significant differences could be extablished between patients with infection from serogroup A and B meningococci for either laboratory evidence of DIC or prognostic factors.
