Leiden mutation, bed rest and infection: simultaneous triggers for maternal deep-vein thrombosis and neonatal intracranial hemorrhage?

Abstract excerpt

The possible etiologic roles of infection and bed rest are discussed in connection with a case of maternal homozygous Leiden mutation leading to prematurity, maternal deep-vein thrombosis and neonatal intracranial hemorrhage in a heterozygous premature baby. Maternal bacterial infection and bed rest may trigger deep-vein femoral thrombosis in women with a homozygous Leiden mutation on tocolytic therapy for the...
