Abstract:
Thrombotic disease is one of the most relevant clinical problems for morbility and mortality. We can differentiate congenital and acquired forms. In this short communication we describe 1 case observed by us that seems interesting for the association of a congenital and acquired form [Protein S deficiency and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)] and for the dramatic events suffered before receiving a complete diagnosis and therapy, indicating the importance of recollection of information from the patients, starting from anamnestic data.
