title: [Prevention of thrombosis in protein C deficiency].
abstract: In a 14-years old girl, suffering from deep venous thrombosis protein C deficiency (activity: 55-58%) was diagnosed. Following rethrombosis oral anticoagulant therapy (OAT) with Phenprocoumon (Marcumar) was started. To find the required dosage for OAT the concentrations of prothrombin fragment (F1+2; < 0.5 nM/l) and fibrin monomers (< 2.5 mg/l) were measured. With this procedure an unusually high thromboplastin time (40-45%) was found to be safe.
