      Abstract

      Two cases of acquired fibrinogenopenia are recorded. In one instance this blood coagulation abnormality was associated with amyloidosis of the liver, in the other with pregnancy and intrauterine fetal death.
      A simplified scheme for obtaining in vitro and in vivo evidence of severe fibrinogen deficiency is presented.
