A 66-year-old woman suffering from fever and thrombophlebitis was referred to our hospital. A peripheral blood examination revealed hyperleukocytosis with 96% blast cells and thrombocytopenia. The patient was diagnosed as having acute myeloid leukemia (AML) accompanied by disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). A marked decrease in protein C (PC) antigen and activity were observed. In this case, PC levels were lower than those observed in AML with DIC. Induction therapy for leukemia and treatment of DIC were started on the first day of hospitalization. The patient achieved complete remission, with PC antigen and activity levels normalized.
