Case ReportsAcute massive intravascular hemolysis and disseminated intravascular coagulation.
Two cases of acute intravascular hemolysis complicating acute disseminated intravascular coagulation were presented, one after normal delivery and the other after group A beta hemolytic streptococcal septicemia complicating acute myelomonoblastic leukemia. Neither case received heparin therapy. The first one survived while the latter succumbed. Intravascular hemolysis may not be a bad prognostic sign in such a condition.
