Abstract
Several recent reports have independently described a rare thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) post vaccination with ChAdOx1 nCoV-19. In J. Thromb. Haemost., Ankerlund Blauenfeldt et al. [1] described the clinical presentation of a case of fatal acute ischemic stroke associated with profound thrombocytopenia. The pathogenesis behind this case may involve mechanisms similarly to autoimmune heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) since anti-platelet factor 4(PF-4) antibodies were detected in the patient plasma.
