Abstract:
Eczematous, infiltrated plaques at the site of subcutaneously administered heparin appear to be common. Heparinoids cannot be recommended in general as a substitute for heparin or low molecular weight heparin because delayed-type skin reactions to these molecules can also occur, as demonstrated in this case report.
