Continuous blood coagulation in chronic opisthorchiasis

Animal experiments have shown that chronic Opisthorchis invasion results in accelerated continuous blood coagulation, by inducing hypercoagulation and platelet activation. The state of hemostasis depends on the degree of infection and undergoes the largest changes during maximum invasion. Irrespecti...

Summary:Animal experiments have shown that chronic Opisthorchis invasion results in accelerated continuous blood coagulation, by inducing hypercoagulation and platelet activation. The state of hemostasis depends on the degree of infection and undergoes the largest changes during maximum invasion. Irrespective of invasion rates, chronic opisthorchiasis is accompanied by hypofibrinogenemia.
