Warfarin-induced skin necrosis associated with Factor V Leiden and protein S deficiency.
Clinical and Laboratory Haematology 2001 August
Thrombotic events are rare complications during anticoagulation therapy. The thrombosis varies from localized cutaneous involvement to catastrophic thromboembolism and is usually associated with an underlying thrombophilia. We describe a patient who developed skin necrosis during warfarin treatment for a pulmonary thromboembolism. The management was complicated by the development of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and further thrombotic events. Thrombophilia screen demonstrated the presence of protein S deficiency and Factor V Leiden as the prothrombotic factors, together with the demonstration of antiplatelet factor 4 antibodies, which confirms the diagnosis of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (type II). Reinstitution of warfarin at a low loading dose was successful without the recurrence of skin lesions nor any further thrombosis.
