MeSH Heading: Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation
Tree Number(s): C15.378.100.220; C15.378.463.250; C15.378.925.220
Unique ID: D004211
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D004211
Annotation: do not confuse with ERYTHROCYTE AGGREGATION, INTRAVASCULAR
Scope Note: A disorder characterized by procoagulant substances entering the general circulation causing a systemic thrombotic process. The activation of the clotting mechanism may arise from any of a number of disorders. A majority of the patients manifest skin lesions, sometimes leading to PURPURA FULMINANS.
