Pavel Vorobyov, chairman of the Board of the Moscow City Scientific Society of Therapists, said that the immediate cause of gangrene in figure skater Roman Kostomarov was not pneumonia, but sepsis caused by it.
As explained Vorobyov, to whom he refers aif.ru thrombosis that develops with sepsis and can lead to gangrene is associated with disseminated intravascular coagulation syndrome, or DIC syndrome.
According to the expert, the principles of DIC syndrome therapy were developed in the 1970s, but in the clinic where Kostomarov is treated, as far as Vorobyov knows, “there is a negative attitude to this method of therapy.” Vorobyov also said that he did not know “whether Kostomarov had any additional factors of a particularly severe course of the disease or not.”
