Vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopaenia (VITT) is a rare syndrome associated with the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 (AstraZeneca) vaccine. We detail a case of vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopaenia in a 47-year-old female who was found to have bilateral adrenal haemorrhage, renal vein thrombosis, renal infarction and pulmonary embolism 13 days post-vaccination with ChAdOx1 nCoV-19.
We report a case of staphylococcal sepsis with vascular complications including peripheral emboli and renal vein thrombosis. Bilateral renal vein thrombosis has not been reported as a complication ofStaphylococcus aureus(SA) axillary abscess. Uncontrolled diabetes was the only detected predisposing medical condition. The patient was treated successfully with incision and drainage of soft-tissue abscesses and intravenous antibiotic for six weeks and with anticoagulation for renal vein thrombosis.
