JACOBSON, B F et al. Recommendations for the diagnosis and management of vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia. SAMJ, S. Afr. med. j. [online]. 2021, vol.111, n.5. ISSN 2078-5135.  https://doi.org/10.7196/SAMJ.2021.v111i7.15772.

There have recently been safety concerns regarding an increased risk of vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT) following administration of SARS-CoV-2 adenoviral vector vaccines. The Southern African Society of Thrombosis and Haemostasis reviewed the emerging literature on this idiosyncratic complication. A draft document was produced and revised by consensus agreement by a panel of professionals from various specialties. The recommendations were adjudicated by independent international experts to avoid local bias. We present concise, practical guidelines for the clinical management of VITT.
