Coagulation, inflammation and immune response an evolutionary conserved plan as cause for disseminated intravasal coagulation?

The concomitant activation of the immune response and the coagulation system in response to injury represents a phylogenetic old and adaptive principle already present in the early eukaryotic development. The close connection between coagulation, inflammation, and immune defense has been conserved during evolution and can still be found in humans in a number of physiologic reactions to potentially detrimental effects.
