Abstract
A rare association of congenital afibrinogenemia and hereditary protein C deficiency is described in a 37βyearβold female who suffered from ischemic necrosis in the left first toe. The diagnosis of afibrinogenemia was assessed by the absence of fibrinogen in clotting and immunological assays. The diagnosis of hereditary heterozygous type I protein C deficiency was based on the evidence of proportional decreases of activity and antigen of plasma protein C in the propositus, her mother, and two maternal aunts.

Skin necrosis is a rare but debilitating complication of treatment with vitamin K antagonist anticoagulants such as warfarin. A clinically similar syndrome has been reported less frequently with heparin therapy. We recently managed a thirty-year-old female patient who developed skin necrosis on her
Individuals with more than one defect in natural coagulant/anticoagulant systems have been postulated to be at an increased risk for thrombotic events. We report a case of combined protein S and C deficiency in a young woman, which resulted in fatal arterial mesenteric thrombosis. The role of coagul
