Post-Intensive Care Syndrome Among Survivors in a Safety Net Hospital in South Bronx: A Comparison of Patients With and Without Coronavirus Disease 2019.

Comparison of post-intensive care syndrome between critically ill survivors with or without coronavirus disease 2019 (CovP and CovN, respectively) showed that fewer CovP were able to return to work full time at >1 year and none at <1 year after discharge and that the majority of CovP survivors were able to work part time during both evaluation periods compared to CovN.

Acute Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP) Following COVID-19 Vaccination in a Patient With Previously Stable ITP.

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune condition associated with multiple risk factors including viral infections (hepatitis B virus/hepatitis C virus/cytomegalovirus, HIV, and recently severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) and vaccines. Though immune mechanisms have been proposed to explain the pathogenesis of acute ITP, autoimmunity with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine is still unclear and needs further research. We report a case of acute ITP after administration of the Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA COVID-19 vaccine in a patient with previously stable ITP.
