title: [Correlation of fragmented cells with lytic products and other hematologic data].
abstract: In a group of 38 children under three months of age, the FRBC, split products of fibrinogen, red blood cells per microliter, hematocrit and mean corpuscular volume were determined, trying to establish a correlation between the first parameter and the other. Only a significant correlation with the mean corpuscular volume was found. Most of the cases with more than three percent of FRBC had a diagnosis of severe infection. The same phenomenon was observed in the group of more than 8 microgram/ml of FSP, but there was no association between both groups. We suggest an etiology related with fasting and nonrelated with disseminated intravascular coagulation for microangiopathic hemolysis in the newborn with infection.
