Vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT) is a rare clinical condition that has emerged during the mass immunization against SARS-CoV-2. Reports indicate that VITT may also be induced by other vaccines, such as the human papillomavirus vaccine, or occur independently of vaccination. Its recognition requires a high index of suspicion, especially in patients presenting with thrombocytopenia and thrombosis several days after vaccination with an adenoviral vector-based vaccine against SARS-CoV-2. Bleeding manifestations do not exclude VITT, as initially assumed. It is of great importance to perform the appropriate diagnostic tests early in the course of the disease, as false-negative results may occur and many aspects of VITT are not fully understood. These two cases from Germany demonstrate unusual presentations of VITT.
疫苗诱导的免疫性血栓性血小板减少症(VITT)是一种在大规模接种严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)疫苗期间出现的罕见临床病症。报告表明,VITT也可能由其他疫苗诱导,如人乳头瘤病毒疫苗,或在未接种疫苗的情况下独立发生。识别VITT需要高度的怀疑指数,尤其是在接种基于腺病毒载体的SARS-CoV-2疫苗几天后出现血小板减少和血栓形成的患者中。出血表现并不像最初设想的那样排除VITT。在疾病早期进行适当的诊断测试非常重要,因为可能会出现假阴性结果,而且VITT的许多方面尚未完全了解。来自德国的这两例病例展示了VITT的不寻常表现。
