Vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT) is a prothrombotic disorder, which has been described as a rare adverse effect of the adenoviral-vectored coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines. The diagnosis is confirmed by the detection of anti-platelet factor 4 (PF4) antibodies by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) or functional assay in individuals with the appropriate clinical history. Here, we report a case of a patient who presented with a severe intracerebral hemorrhage and thrombocytopenia 14 days after receiving the first dose of the Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, with negative PF4/heparin antibodies tested with ELISA, but positive heparin-induced platelet activation assay (HIPAA).
疫苗诱导的免疫性血栓性血小板减少症(VITT)是一种血栓前状态疾病,已被描述为2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)腺病毒载体疫苗的一种罕见不良反应。对于有相应临床病史的个体,通过酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)或功能测定检测抗血小板因子4(PF4)抗体来确诊。在此,我们报告一例患者,在接种第一剂牛津-阿斯利康COVID-19疫苗14天后出现严重脑出血和血小板减少症,ELISA检测PF4/肝素抗体为阴性,但肝素诱导的血小板活化测定(HIPAA)为阳性。
