Clinical rheumatology, 1983•SpringerTwo children suffering from systemic juvenile chronic arthritis (JCA) 11 complicated by acute
disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIG) are described. One had a fatal outcome with
acute renal failure and cerebral haemorrhage; the other recovered. Early recognition and
treatment of the underlying cause—usually an infection—as well as replacement of clotting
factors are important in management.
