In this episode, Rich and Pip discuss vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia and heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. They critique a recent paper that has shown that VITT has been around before vaccines against Covid-19. Importantly, they discuss which patients should be tested for spontaneous VITT- and HIT-like syndromes, and discuss a recent case.
The paper is: Schönborn L. et al. Anti-PF4 immunothrombosis without proximate heparin or adenovirus vector vaccine exposure. Blood. 2023 Dec 28;142(26):2305-2314.

#14 Long term neurological impact of TTP with Becks Shaw
Episode 14 is with Dr Becks Shaw. Becks is an academic haematology registrar in Liverpool, UK who is currently finishing off her PhD with Prof Cheng-Hock Toh. Her work has been centred on TTP including the long term neurological consequences of this aggressive microangiopathic haemolytic anaemia. Here we discuss her work including the ConNeCT study, a questionnaire based follow-up study of patients with TTP.
