Where this comes from

Abstract

During one winter season, two children with rotavirus gastroenteritis who developed fulminant disseminated intravascular coagulation were seen at our hospital. Disseminated intravascular coagulation probably resulted from hypovolemic shock and acidosis, although extraintestinal spread of the virus cannot be excluded.
