Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis in COVID-19 Infection: A Case Series and Review of The Literature

Katarina Dakay et al.

Summary: SARS-CoV-2 infection has been linked to various hematologic abnormalities, with a notably high incidence of venous thromboembolism, including cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (cVST) which has been less commonly reported in association with COVID-19 and tends to occur more frequently in women and young individuals.

A flow cytometric assay to detect platelet-activating antibodies in VITT after ChAdOx1 nCov-19 vaccination

Stefan Handtke et al.

Summary: Vaccination plays a crucial role in combating the pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The rare complication of thrombocytopenia and thrombotic complications after ChAdOx1 nCov-19 vaccination can be identified using a widely applicable whole-blood standard flow cytometric assay, allowing for rapid diagnosis by many laboratories.

Pathologic Antibodies to Platelet Factor 4 after ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 Vaccination

Marie Scully et al.

Summary: 23 cases of thrombotic thrombocytopenia were reported after receiving the AstraZeneca vaccine, incited by antibodies to platelet factor 4 and unrelated to heparin therapy. Avoidance of platelet transfusion and consideration of nonheparin anticoagulant and intravenous immune globulin are recommended for treatment.

Thrombosis and Thrombocytopenia after ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 Vaccination

Nina H. Schultz et al.

Summary: This study reports five cases of venous thrombosis and thrombocytopenia occurring 7 to 10 days after receiving the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine, suggesting a rare vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia. The condition, which can lead to catastrophic outcomes such as cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, may be treated with intravenous immune globulin.

Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia after ChAdOx1 nCov-19 Vaccination

Andreas Greinacher et al.

Summary: After vaccination with ChAdOx1 nCov-19, rare immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia can occur due to platelet-activating antibodies against PF4, resulting in various thrombotic events. Most patients in this case series were women, with fatal outcomes such as cerebral venous thrombosis and intracranial hemorrhage. Additional studies are needed to further investigate and understand this phenomenon.
