Findings published in NEJM: Thrombosis and Thrombocytopenia after ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 Vaccination
A team of researchers from several departments at Oslo University Hospital has described a vaccine-induced syndrome of severe thrombosis and thrombocytopenia found among five patients admitted to OUH. The findings have recently been published in the New England Journal of Medicine, and have received national and international attention. Nina H. Schulz and Pål André Holme from the Department of Haematology are first and senior authors respectively.
