title: [Protein C, protein S and antithrombin III at normal delivery and during abruptio placentae].
abstract: Protein C, Protein S and Antithrombin III were screened in one hundred patients admitted for abruptio placentae and one hundred women who delivered normally in Dakar university hospital. We found a reduction of Protein S at normal delivery which is linked to hypercoagulation activity during this process. PC and PS were significantly decreased during abruptio placentae in relation with the disseminated intravascular coagulation which was found in our study. We recommend to include these tests to explore aetiologies of abruptio placentae and to confirm their congenital deficit two months after delivery.
