It shares immunopathologic features with vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia but arises after natural infection, most often adenoviral infection. We reviewed pediatric cases and mechanistic studies identified through PubMed and reference screening (latest search: November 20, 2025), with a focus on pathophysiology, differential diagnosis, laboratory evaluation, and treatment. We identified 10 pediatric patients, with a reported mortality rate of 20%. Children typically presented with acute severe headache, focal neurological deficits, and thrombocytopenia 5-14 days after recent viral illness. All reported cases had markedly increased D-dimers. Rapid immunoassays for heparin-induced thrombocytopenia were often negative; PF4-specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and PF4-enhanced functional assays were positive. Treatments in published cases included anticoagulation (9/10 cases), intravenous immunoglobulin (5/10 cases), and plasma exchange therapy (3/10 cases). On the basis of these findings and mechanistic parallels, we propose a diagnostic and therapeutic approach, acknowledging the limited evidence base. In conclusion, postviral anti-PF4 immunothrombosis in children, although rare, is potentially fatal and likely underrecognized.

Analysis of further immunological markers was performed for patient 2 using peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs); additionally, cytokines in cell culture media were quantified. Laboratory data were compared to pharmacological parameters and clinical outcome.Both patients showed a decline in FVIII recovery (exposure day [ED] 12 for patient 1, ED 25 for patient 2). During that time patient 2 was positive for lupus anticoagulants and a low amount of FVIII-specific antibodies was detectable in ELISA. However, specificity could not be verified by competition and antibodies disappeared again after ED 25. Patient 1 developed FVIII-specific antibodies of subclass IgG4 after ED 229. Antibodies were mainly directed against the FVIII light chain. FVIII-responsive CD4<sup>+</sup> T-cells were detectable in the patient's PBMCs. Additionally, PMBCs showed an elevated production of IL-23 and TNF-α when stimulated with FVIII.A prospective analysis of the described parameters might help to identify the onset of an immune response.

While the bleeding risk of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors is well documented, the impact of tramadol on platelet aggregation, despite its widespread use, remains underexplored. Therefore, this study aims to elucidate tramadol's effect on platelet function. This single-center laboratory study involved healthy volunteers at the Medical University of Graz, Austria. Platelet function was assessed using light transmission aggregometry following the addition of tramadol in increasing concentrations (0, 500, 1500, 4500, and 9000 ng/mL) to blood samples. Baseline and post-tramadol-addition platelet aggregation was measured using adenosine diphosphate-induced (ADP), ristocetin-induced, and thrombin-receptor activating peptide-induced (TRAM) aggregation. Statistical analysis employed the Friedman test. Seven healthy volunteers could be included in the final analysis. Platelet aggregation was assessed after ex vivo addition of tramadol (500-9000 ng/mL). No significant differences in aggregation percentages were observed between tramadol concentrations and baseline inducing activation with ADP, ristocetin, or TRAP. These findings suggest that tramadol, at therapeutic and supratherapeutic concentrations, does not significantly impair platelet function in most individuals. This supports the general safety profile of tramadol regarding platelet aggregation.Tramadol appears safe concerning platelet function. Further research with larger cohorts is warranted to confirm these results and investigate potential interindividual variability in response to tramadol.</p>","PeriodicalId":55074,"journal":{"name":"Hamostaseologie","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146183466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Accordingly, the aim of this study was to determine the percentage of regulatory T cells subpopulations by flow cytometry in 10 healthy subjects, 15 patients with severe hemophilia without inhibitors, and 8 with inhibitors. No significant differences in the frequency of regulatory T cells subpopulations were found between hemophilia A patients with inhibitors versus hemophilia A patients without inhibitors or healthy subjects.
