Warfarin-induced skin necrosis can occur atypically several years after exposure, highlighting the need for prompt evaluation of suspicious skin lesions in patients on warfarin.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Late atypical warfarin necrosis may occur in protein S deficiency; leaves open true incidence and monitoring needs beyond initial exposure.
Ward et al. (2006) conducted a case report in Warfarin-induced skin necrosis (n=1). Warfarin was evaluated on Warfarin-induced skin necrosis. A 43-year-old woman with protein S deficiency developed atypical warfarin-induced skin necrosis several years after initial warfarin exposure, with a probable causal relationship.
