title: Coagulation and fibrinolytic properties of peripheral venous blood in chronic ectopic pregnancy.
abstract: The coagulation and fibrinolytic properties of peripheral venous blood was studied in 10 Black patients with chronic ectopic pregnancy. There were significant elevations of plasma fibrinogen and serum fibrin-fibrinogen degradation products (FDP) and prolongation of the euglobulin lysis time. These features are believed to be compatible with chronic inflammation. No evidence of a haemostatic defect was found.
