Slow Elevation in Protein C Activity without a PROC Mutation in a Neonate with Intracranial Hemorrhage

Slow Elevation in Protein C Activity without a PROC Mutation in a Neonate with Intracranial Hemorrhage

Severe protein C (PC) deficiency leads to purpura fulminans and stroke in newborns. However, the clinical impact of plasma PC activity on the development of neonatal cerebral disease remains elusive. We report a case of hemorrhagic stroke associated with neonatal asphyxia and severe PC deficiency. P...
