English

Subject field(s)
  • Human Diseases - Various
  • Blood
  • Immunology
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.

DEF

A complex network of cells, tissues, organs, and the substances they make that helps the body fight infections and ... diseases.

The immune system distinguishes self from nonself and eliminates potentially harmful nonself molecules and cells from the body. The immune system also has the capacity to recognize and destroy abnormal cells that derive from host tissues. Any molecule capable of being recognized by the immune system is considered an antigen (Ag).

PHR

OBS

sistema inmunitario; sistema inmune; sistema inmunológico: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, recomienda llamar "sistema inmunitario" y no "sistema inmunológico" al sistema que tienen los seres vivos para protegerse de enfermedades y sustancias extrañas. [Asimismo aclara que] inmunológico es lo relacionado con la ciencia de la inmunología, como tal disciplina, mientras que para lo relacionado con la inmunidad la palabra más apropiada es inmunitario. [...] Aunque en propiedad "inmune" se aplica a los organismos resistentes a ciertas enfermedades, las Academias ya aceptan, por su amplio uso, "sistema inmune" como sinónimo de "sistema inmunitario".

PHR

sistema inmunitario deficiente

PHR

sistema inmune débil, sistema inmune fuerte
