Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and thrombosis in a patient with Covid-19
Covid-19 has significant implications of hematologic systems, including lymphocytopenia, thrombocytopenia, ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, pulmonary thromboembolism, and myocardial infarction [1,2]. Iwasaki et al. reported that the pathogen of Covid-19, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), can induce immune dysfunction, inflammation, and antibody-dependent enhancement by activating host cells via the Fc γIIa receptor in the same way as SARS-CoV-1 [3].

Pulmonary venous thrombosis in a patient with COVID-19 infection
ConclusionsThrombotic outcomes in the setting of severe COVID 19 pneumonia may include macrovascular venous thromboembolism, microvascular pulmonary vascular thrombosis and arterial thromboembolism. Pulmonary vein, herein described, provides further mechanistic pathway for potential arterial embolic phenomenon.

Pathogenic lipid-binding antiphospholipid antibodies are associated with severity of COVID-19
CONCLUSIONS: COVID-19 patients rapidly expand B1a cells secreting pathogenic lipid-binding aPL with broad thrombotic and inflammatory effects. The association with markers of inflammation and coagulation, clinical severity and mortality suggests a causal role of aPL in COVID-19 associated coagulopathy.PMID:34242469 | DOI:10.1111/jth.15455

Platelets and COVID-19
Hamostaseologie. 2021 Oct;41(5):379-385. doi: 10.1055/a-1581-4355. Epub 2021 Oct 25.ABSTRACTIn 2019 first reports about a new human coronavirus emerged, which causes common cold symptoms as well as acute respiratory distress syndrome. The virus was identified as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and severe thrombotic events including deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and microthrombi emerged as additional symptoms. Heart failure, myocardial infarction, myocarditis, and stroke have also been observed. As main mediator of thrombus formation, platelets became one of the key aspects in SARS-C...
