INTRAVASCULAR COAGULATION IN FALCIPARUM MALARIA
In twenty-four patients with acute falciparum malaria, the serum levels of fibrin-degradation products (F.D.P.) were studied. Eleven patients had cerebral malaria and in all of them serum-F.D.P. levels were greatly raised. In patients severely ill with jaundice or hyperpyrexia serum-F.D.P. concentra...
