Role of genotyping in prediction of disseminated intravascular coagulation and multiple organ failure in children with generalized forms of meningococcal infection

Aim: To investigate the features of allelic polymorphism, of several immune- and hemostasis-related genes in children with generalized, meningococcal infections and. to assess the usefulness of genotyping for prediction, of severe disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and. multiple organ dysfunction, syndrome in these patients. Materials and methods : we studied. 20 children aged, from 8 months up to 17 years with generalized,...
