title: Fibrinolytic activity in patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss.
abstract: Fibrinolytic activity and capacity were studied in a group of 18 patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss of unknown etiology. The fibrinolytic activity and capacity were found reduced in 12 patients. No distinct changes in platelet aggregation in vitro could be demonstrated. Further, repeated studies in this category of patients should be performed.
