Platelet‐activating immune complexes identified in critically ill COVID‐19 patients suspected of heparin‐induced thrombocytopenia
Abstract
Thrombocytopenia and thrombosis are prominent in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19), particularly among critically ill patients; however, the mechanism is unclear. Such critically ill COVID‐19 patients may be suspected of heparin‐induced thrombocytopenia (HIT), given similar clinical features.
