Transitory Polyglobulia and Low Platelet Count Associated With Pfizer/ Biontech Mrna Vaccine - A Case Report
Authors: Suchmacher Mendel, Geller Mauro.
Abstract
The authors report a case of transitory polyglobulia and low platelet count associated with Pfizer mRNA vaccine administration. Upregulation of heme, beta- and gamma-globin synthesis due to activation of NFR2 by IRP/ synthetic mRNA/eIF4E complex and decreased immune-mediated megakaryocytopoiesis and/or peripheral platelet destruction, were hypothesized mechanisms.
