Overview

There is an association between severe COVID-19 infection and thrombocytopenia.

Historical Perspective

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by a novel coronavirus called SARS-CoV-2, which caused a respiratory illness outbreak that was first detected in Wuhan, China.^[1]^[2]

On January 30, 2020, the outbreak was declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern.
On March 12, 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO).

Classification

Thrombocytopenia is defined by platelet count <150 x <math>10^9</math>/L on CBC.^[3]
Classification of thrombocytopenia by platelet count is:^[4]
- Mild: between 70,000 and 150,000 x <math>10^9</math>/L
- Severe: less than 20,000 x <math>10^9</math>/L
Most patients are asymptomatic if the platelet count is 50,000 x <math>10^9</math>/L or greater.^[4]
Patients with platelet count between 30 and 50 x <math>10^9</math>/L rarely have purpura, but may have excessive bleeding with trauma.^[4]
Patients with platelet count between 10 and 30 x <math>10^3</math>/L may have bleeding with minor trauma.^[4]
Patients with platelet count less than 10 x <math>10^3</math>/L have increased risk for spontaneous bleeding, petechiae, and bruising.^[4]
Spontaneous bleeding, which is an emergency, usually occurs in patients with platelet counts less than 5 x <math>10^3</math>/L .^[4]

Pathophysiology

The pathogenesis of thrombocytopenia in COVID-19 infection is due to several factors:^[5]

Decrease in primary platelet production due to infection of bone marrow cells by coronaviruses^[6] and inhibition of bone marrow growth,^[7] which lead to abnormal hematopoietic function.^[5]

Increase in platelet destruction due to increase in auto-antibodies and immune complexes.^[8]

Decrease in circulating platelet due to lung injury which causes megakaryocyte fragmentation and decreases platelet production, because lung is a reservoir for megakaryocyte and hematopoieitic progenitor cells and has a role in platelet production.^[5]^[9]
In addition, decrease in platelets may be due to activation of platelets that result in platelet aggregation and formation of micro-thrombus which increase platelet consumption.^[5]^[10]

Causes

~~Disease name] may be caused by [cause1], [cause2], or [cause3].~~

OR

~~Common causes of [disease] include [cause1], [cause2], and [cause3].~~

OR

~~The most common cause of [disease name] is [cause 1]. Less common causes of [disease name] include [cause 2], [cause 3], and [cause 4].~~

OR

Differentiating Thrombocytopenia from other Diseases

The differential diagnosis to consider in thrombocytopenia include:

Infections (Epstein-Barr virus, cytomegalovirus, hepatitis C, human immunodeficiency virus, parvovirus B19, H pylori)
Medications (antibiotics, alcohol, chemotherapy, radiation)
Folate or vitamin B12 deficiencies
Liver disease
Bone marrow failure syndromes (such as aplastic anemia, Fanconi anemia, and Diamond-Blackfan anemia)
Hematologic disorders (lymphoma, leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome)
Tumor infiltration of bone marrow
Inherited thrombocytopenias (Bernard-Soulier syndrome, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, and thrombocytopenia with absent radii)

Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and drug-induced ITP (such as quinine, NSAIDs, glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors)
Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT)
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP)/hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS)
Drug-induced TTP (such as mitomycin C, gemcitabine, oxaliplatin)
Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)
Posttransfusion purpura
Autoimmune-related thrombocytopenia (such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), common variable immunodeficiency (CVID), antiphospholipid antibody syndrome,thyroid disease)
Mechanical destruction (such as cardiopulmonary bypass, intra-aortic balloon pump)

Epidemiology and Demographics

Thrombocytopenia is seen in 36% of patients with COVID-19 infection.^[11]
Thrombocytopenia is seen in 57.7% of patients with severe COVID-19 infection compared to 31.6 % of patients with non-severe infection.^[11]

Risk Factors

~~There are no established risk factors for [disease name].~~

OR

~~The most potent risk factor in the development of [disease name] is [risk factor 1]. Other risk factors include [risk factor 2], [risk factor 3], and [risk factor 4].~~

OR

~~Common risk factors in the development of [disease name] include [risk factor 1], [risk factor 2], [risk factor 3], and [risk factor 4].~~

OR

~~Common risk factors in the development of [disease name] may be occupational, environmental, genetic, and viral.~~

Screening

It has been reported that thrombocytopenia upon admission for COVID-19 infection is associated with severe disease and mortality.^[12]
However, there is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening and monitoring of thrombocytopenia for predicting disease progression in patients with COVID-19 infection and further studies are required.^[13]

Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis

Natural History

Thrombocytopenia is associated with an increased risk for severe COVID-19 infection (threefold).^[14]

Complications

Complications of thrombocytopenia in patients with severe COVID-19 infection may include:

Intravascular coagulopathy

Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)^[13]
Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome^[13]
Death^[13]

Prognosis

It has been reported that thrombocytopenia upon admission for COVID-19 infection is independently and strongly associated with poor outcome and mortality.^[12]

Diagnosis

Diagnostic Study of Choice

The diagnostic study of choice for thrombocytopenia is compelete blood count (CBC).

Thrombocytopenia is defined by platelet count <150 x <math>10^9</math>/L on CBC.^[3]
Thrombocytopenia in patients with COVID-19 is usually moderate (>100× <math>10^9</math>/L), however in patients with multi-organ failure with ARDS or capillary leak syndrome platelet count is >50×<math>10^9</math>.^[14]

History and Symptoms

Thrombocytopenia in patients with COVID-19 is usually moderate (>100× <math>10^9</math>/L), however in patients with multi-organ failure with ARDS or capillary leak syndrome platelet count is >50×<math>10^9</math>.^[14]
Most patients are asymptomatic if the platelet count is 50,000 x <math>10^9</math>/L or greater.^[4]

Patients should be questioned about:^[3]^[4]
- Bruising or petechiae
- Bleeding (melena, epistaxis, menorrhagia,hematuria, prolonged bleeding after procedures, gingival bleeding and blood in sputum)
- Past medical history
- Family history
- Medications history
- Immunizations history
- Changes in vision
- Rash
- Fever
- Recent travel
- Transfusion history

Physical Examination

Thrombocytopenia in patients with COVID-19 is usually moderate (>100× <math>10^9</math>/L), however in patients with multi-organ failure with ARDS or capillary leak syndrome platelet count is >50×<math>10^9</math>.^[14]
Most patients are asymptomatic if the platelet count is 50,000 x <math>10^9</math>/L or greater.^[4]

The physical examination in patients with thrombocytopenia should include checking for:^[3]

- Bleeding^[15] (epistaxis, bloody sputum, gingival bleeding, menorrhagia, heavy bleeding after invasive procedures or childbirth)^[16]
- Unexplained bruising (petechiae, purpura, ecchymosis)
- Hepatosplenomegaly
- Abdominal tenderness
- Urinary tract (check for hematuria)^[17]
- Stool for occult blood (evaluation of gastrointestinal and rectal bleeding)
- Retinal hemorrhage on fundoscopic exam (evaluation of central nervous system bleeding)^[17]
- Neurologic examination (check for intracranial bleeding)^[17]
- Soft tissue or joint bleeding is not associated with thrombocytopenia and other coagulation disorders such as DIC should be checked.^[15]^[17]

Laboratory Findings

Compelete blood count (CBC): Thrombocytopenia is defined by platelet count <150 x <math>10^9</math>/L on CBC.^[3]
Thrombocytopenia in patients with COVID-19 is usually moderate (>100× <math>10^9</math>/L), however in patients with multi-organ failure with ARDS or capillary leak syndrome platelet count is >50×<math>10^9</math>.^[14]
