title: Deep vein thrombosis with Staphylococcus aureus septicemia.
abstract: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in children is usually associated with inherited or acquired hypercoagulable state, mechanical obstruction, fractures of long bones, central venous catheterization and prolonged immobility. We report DVT in 4 children with culture proven staphylococcal septicemia. One child died, while other three survived with appropriate antibiotics and anticoagulation therapy.
