[Intravascular morphological manifestations of the syndrome of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) in the acute period of burn disease].

The authors have made an analysis of the frequency and character of intravascular microthrombi found in the capillaries and venules of the inner organs on the basis of results of 20 autopsies of adult patients with DIC having the burned body surface from 25 to 90%. The patients were treated and died in the Russian Burn Center. In the 18 dead out of 20 patients different kinds of microthrombi were revealed. The greatest number of microthrombi were found in the brain, the fewest--in the kidneys.
