Protein S deficiency. Description of a case associated with chronic inflammatory bowel disease.
Thrombotic disease is one of the most relevant clinical problems for morbility and mortality. We can differentiate congenital and acquired forms. In this short communication we describe 1 case observed by us that seems interesting for the association of a congenital and acquired form [Protein S deficiency and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)] and for the dramatic events suffered before receiving a complete diagnosis and therapy, indicating the importance of recollection of information from the patients, starting from anamnestic data.
