Abstract

PARAMO, JA. Coagulopathy and thrombosis: similarities and differences among pathogenic coronaviruses. Anales Sis San Navarra [online]. 2020, vol.43, n.2, pp.245-249.  Epub Jan 25, 2021. ISSN 1137-6627.  https://dx.doi.org/10.23938/assn.0885.

One of the most significant negative prognostic factors in patients suffering from the disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) is the development of coagulopathy, associated with abnormal laboratory findings, such as increased D-dimer, and venous thromboembolic complications, requiring thromboprophylactic strategies. The main clinical characteristics of COVID-19 patients are revised here as compared to other coronavirus infections, such as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), emphasizing clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects.

Keywords : Coronaviruses; Coagulation; Thrombosis; D-dimer; Thromboprophylaxis.
