Post-COVID-19 thrombotic sequelae: The potential role of persistent platelet hyperactivity.

Published in: British journal of haematology (2023)

Postacute COVID-19 sequelae affect millions of individuals, and active research into the pathophysiological mechanisms and potential treatments is underway. The report by Nara and colleagues shows persistent platelet hyperactivity in the chronic phase of the infection, suggesting a possible role of platelets in post-COVID-19 complications and, consequently, a possible therapeutic target.
