Coagulation testing in the evaluation of suspected child abuse.
[child syndrome]
Every
year
in
Germany
nearly
3000
cases
of
child
abuse
were
reported
.
When
children
are
presented
at
emergency
units
with
suspicious
injuries
and
bruises
a
detailed
documentation
an
evaluation
is
necessary
after
emergency
treatment
.
As
differential
diagnosis
inherited
or
acquired
bleeding
disorders
should
be
excluded
.
In
addition
to
a
detailed
evaluation
of
personal
and
family
history
and
a
physical
evaluation
different
coagulation
test
to
exclude
defects
of
primary
and
secondary
hemostasis
should
be
performed
.
Clinician
must
know
the
limitations
of
these
tests
and
keep
in
mind
that
an
abnormal
coagulation
test
does
not
exclude
child
abuse
.
Coagulation
defects
may
be
the
consequence
of
child
abuse
and
neglect
or
the
two
conditions
may
coexist
.
