Research teams such as the Japanese Society for Thrombosis and Hematology have summarized the findings that about 13% of severely ill patients infected with the new coronavirus developed "thrombosis" such as cerebral infarction in which blood clots clog blood vessels. It was.
"The incidence is high and all critically ill patients need treatment to prevent blood clots," said a team expert.
It has been pointed out that in patients with the new coronavirus, there are cases where immunity runs out of control and a large amount of substances that cause inflammation are released, resulting in blood clots and blood clots that clog blood vessels and cause cerebral infarction and myocardial infarction. I will.
Research teams such as the Japan Thrombosis and Hematology Society and the research group of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare have analyzed the data of about 6,000 inpatients by the end of August to see how much such "thrombosis" occurred.
As a result, 105 people, or 1.85% of the total, developed thrombosis, and 50 out of 378, or 13.2%, of the severely ill patients who used ventilators and exmo.

In addition, 26 out of 105 people developed thrombosis when their symptoms were recovering.
"Thrombosis is a life-threatening and dangerous disease that has been found to occur frequently with the new corona. Preventing blood clots in all critically ill patients," said Hisanori Horiuchi, director of the Japanese Society for Thrombosis and Hemostasis. I need treatment. "
