Abstract

The mechanisms of coagulation disorder in COVID-19 are complex. However, it is already postulated
that endotheliopathy and platelet activation may be important factors, causing direct damage to
endothelial cells and the imbalance of inflammatory response, manifesting by venous arterial or
microvascular thrombosis. The present study aims to describe a clinical case of an 8-year-old female
patient with disseminated intravascular coagulation due to sepsis of viral etiology.
