ABSTRACT
This chapter explores the clinical features of vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia, also called vaccine-induced immune thrombocytopenia and thrombosis (VITT). Whilst the etiology is distinct from other causes of thrombotic thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS), presentation may be similar and hence the need for strict diagnostic criteria to ensure accurate and prompt diagnosis and early treatment. Studies have identified prognostic markers of the disease, directing therapy and management pathways, and mortality and morbidity from this rare but life-threatening and potentially disabling consequence of the ChAdOx1 nCov-19 vaccine has declined.
