CONT

The researchers who studied the German and Austrian patients ... had initially called the syndrome vaccine-induced prothrombotic immune thrombocytopenia; [two teams of researchers] now suggest a slightly simpler name: vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT).

OBS

... the patients had unusual antibodies that trigger clotting reactions, which use up the body's platelets and can block blood vessels, leading to potentially deadly strokes or embolisms. The symptoms resemble a rare reaction to the drug heparin, called heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT), in which the immune system makes antibodies to a complex of heparin and a protein called platelet factor 4 (PF4), triggering platelets to form dangerous clots throughout the body.

  • Human Diseases - Various
  • Blood
  • Medication
CONT

Ordinarily, heparin prevents clotting and does not affect the platelets, components of the blood that help form blood clots. Triggered by the immune system in response to heparin, HIT causes a low platelet count (thrombocytopenia).

English

Subject field(s)
  • Immunology
DEF

A condition in which the body produces antibodies against the platelets in the blood, the cells responsible for blood clotting.

OBS

ITP is very common in HIV-infected people

French

Domaine(s)
  • Immunologie
CONT

Les purpuras thrombopéniques idiopathiques [fréquents au cours de l'infection par le V.I.H.] sont liés à la destruction des plaquettes sanguines par des autoanticorps antiplaquettes par opsonisation dans le foie et surtout la rate (en présence de C3). Lorsque la thrombopénie est sévère, on peut observer des hémorragies. La thrombopénie succède souvent à une infection virale, surtout chez l'enfant, et on discute alors le rôle de la fixation du virus sur les plaquettes.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Inmunología
OBS

Número bajo de plaquetas en la sangre, debido a que el organismo produce anticuerpos que las atacan.

OBS

Padecimiento común en las personas con VIH.

CONT

El uso de quimioterapia en [el tratamiento del sarcoma de] Kaposi ha ido disminuyendo al mejorar la utilización de fármacos antirretrovirales combinados. Se emplea comúnmente vincristina y bleomicina. Ahora se sabe que no debe usarse adriamicina, ya que el pronóstico de los pacientes que la utilizaron fue peor, con reactivaciones graves. Otra combinación muy usual es bleomicina, vincristina y vinblastina.

OBS

ABV : siglas en inglés de tres medicamentos : adriamicina, bleomicina y vinblastina. Esta combinación produce efectos [secundarios] como la baja en el número de elementos de la sangre : leucopenia, anemia y trombocitopenia; pérdida temporal del cabello, náusea, diarrea, fatiga ocasional y fiebre.
