Viral strains | Pathogenesis involving lung and thrombocytopenia | References |
---|---|---|
Influenza virus (H1N1) | (i) Binds to alpha glucans on the platelet surface and affects the platelet homeostasis (ii) The interaction of sialic acid between the platelets and the lungs, mediates the clearance of platelets |
[56] |
Measles virus | (i) The virus upon infection causes thrombocytopenia as it causes damage to the lungs during the time of infection | [57]; [58] |
Fetal parvovirus B19 | (i) The thrombocytopenia is induced during the time of infection due to the external stimulus of the virus on erythroid progenitor cells and megakaryocytes | [60]; [61] |
SARS-CoV-2 | (i) The plasma level of thrombopoietin (TPO) increases which in turn decreases the expression of the TPO-receptor by means of the C-mpl gene that ends up causing thrombocytopenia | [63] |
