What has now become apparent is that a major cause of morbidity and mortality in COVID-19 is abnormal thrombosis. This thrombosis occurs on a macro- and microvascular level and is unique to this disease. The virus has been demonstrated in the endothelium of the pulmonary alveoli and as such is thought to contribute to the devastating respiratory complications encountered. D-dimer concentrations are frequently raised in COVID to levels not frequently seen previously. The optimal anticoagulation treatment in COVID remains to be determined, and the myriad of pathophysiologic effects caused by this virus in the human host have also yet to be fully elucidated.Item The translocation t119q23p13 TCF3PBX1 fusion is the most common recurrent genetic abnormality detected amongst patients with Bcell lymphoblastic leukaemia in Johannesburg South AfricaJenifer Vaughan; Nikki Bouwer; Pascale Willem; Tracey Wiggill; Katherine Hodkinson
