Study Regarding the Incidence of Anti-platelet Factor 4-antibodies in Patients Aged 18 to 60 Years With Spontaneous or Infection- or Vaccine-associated or Recurrent Venous and/or Arterial Thrombosis

Patients with venous and/or arterial thrombosis aged 18 to 60 years are included.Thromboses should have occurred spontaneously or within 30 days after an infection or vaccination. In addition, patients with recurrent thrombosis, despite anticoagulation, are also included in the study. The primary aim of the study is to determine the incidence of anti-platelet factor 4 antibodies in relation to venous and/or arterial thrombosis. For this purpose, we will take a blood sample from the patients within 120 days of the occurrence of the thrombosis. As a secondary objective, platelet count, D-dimer and results of a thrombophilia screening as well as thrombosis localization are recorded.
