ABSTRACT
A case report of a 44‑year old patient admitted to the hospital with symptoms of cardiogenic shock. The patient was suffering from colitis ulcerosa and had an episode of low risk mortality pulmonary embolism in the course of deep vein thrombosis and innate thrombophilia. As a result of anticoagulation treatment the patient developed heparin‑induced thrombocytopenia. Considering the patient’s comorbid diseases, our article presents connections between them as well as the possibility of their overlapping and mutual intensification and related therapeutic decisions.
