COVID-Coag Information

Early in 2021 Fritsma Factor published a narrated 40-minute PowerPoint file named COVID-Coag. While it may seem dated, the presentation links the SARS-Cov19 virus to acute inflammation, platelet activation, DIC, SIC, TMA, TTP, and VITT (recently categorized as “PITT“), insights born of our intense studies of the pandemic. Further, this article appears in the April 2025 issue of the Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis (available from your medical library): Garcia C, Vardon-Bounes F, Compagnon B, et al. Detection of SARS-CoV-2 in bone marrow megakaryocytes and elevated emperipolesis in COVID-19 patients with thrombocytopenia. J Thromb Haemost. 2025:S1538-7836(25)00216-8. doi: 10.1016/j.jtha.2025.03.036. Epub ahead of print. PMID: 40199447.
