Models for SARS-CoV-2 associated thrombocytopenia associated with hemophagocytic histiocytes
A subset of COVID-19 patients is experiencing secondary immune thrombocytopenia, also called immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) or secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). The pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 associated thrombocytopenia is unknown. Very rare cases of vaccine induced prothrom...

description | A subset of COVID-19 patients is experiencing secondary immune thrombocytopenia, also called immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) or secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). The pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 associated thrombocytopenia is unknown. Very rare cases of vaccine induced prothrombotic immune thrombocytopenia (VIPIT) are occurring associated with COVID-19 vaccines. COVID-19 VIPIT is associated with autoantibodies targeting platelet factor 4 (PF4) for COVID-19 adenovirus vaccines. Herein, four models for hemophagocytic histocytes contributions to the etiology of thrombocytopenia associated with SARS-CoV-2 are proposed. One of the models proposes potential involvement of hemophagocytic histocytes targeting platelets bound by autoantibodies consistent with observed PF4 autoantibodies in COVID-19 VIPIT. |
