Nowadays, there is an incidence report of thrombocytopenia after vaccination with ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 in three countries: Scotland, Australia, and Thailand. In Thailand, the proportion of this incident is 16.8 per 100,000 cases per year, which is higher than the incidence in the general population.
Objective: To study the symptoms and response to treatment with thrombocytopenia after ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccination. Descriptive study.
Methods: The researcher reviewed medical records of thrombocytopenia after vaccination with ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 who had been treated at Nakhonpathom hospital since 1 April 2021 - 30 August 2022.
Results: There are 3 cases in Nakhonpathom Hospital where thrombocytopenia occurred within 6 weeks after the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccination. First case, 43 years old male receives ITP (immune thrombocytopenia) treatment and does not respond turns to refractory ITP and plan splenectomy. Another 2 cases, 52 old female and 44 years old male receive ITP treatment and achieved complete response after 9 weeks and 4 weeks of cyclosporin respectively. During the study period from June 2021 – January 2022, the population in Nakhonpathom Province had the first injection of Az at 378,773 doses. Two ITP vaccine-induced cases were severe, treated after 4 weeks, and one was unresponsive.
Conclusion: All 3 cases involved severe need admission and no response to corticosteroid treatment
