INTRODUCTION: Although a well-known complication in certain medical specialties, major bleeding due to the interaction between oral anticoagulants and antibiotics has been rarely reported concerning the upper aerodigestive tract. We report three cases of life-threatening bleeding of the upper aerodigestive tract in a context of antibiotic therapy in patients treated with oral anticoagulants.
CASE SERIES: Three male patients under coumadin anticoagulation therapy presented major bleeding in three different contexts (epistaxis, peritonsillar abscess and postoperative course after total laryngectomy). Surgical intervention for hemostasis was required in all cases, with coagulation correction in two. Complications were severe anemia (2/3) and chronic heart failure (1/3).
DISCUSSION/CONCLUSIONS: Interactions between two drugs commonly used in otolaryngology can result in major bleeding. The goal of this article is to raise practitioners' awareness of a potentially fatal, although rare, complication. We also review the main preventive strategies.
