“…In 1971, Egbringet al [31] added 23 patients to the list of Bommer and associates, reviewing the literature up to 1964, thus making a total of 92 cases up to that time. The author has reviewed 35 additional cases described until 1973, bringing the total number of cases to 127 [1,2,5,6,8,10,20,26,29,44,52,59,78,83,90,93,95,105,107,109,110,112,113,118,133]. In addition to human beings, afibrinogenemia has also been observed in goats [23] and dogs [72].…”
