Blood clots in people with severe Covid may be related to abnormal antibody response: Study

Inflammation and blood clotting seen in very severe cases of COVID-19 may be caused by the antibodies sent to fight the disease activating unnecessary platelet activity in the lungs. A new paper published in the journal Blood reveals how antibodies produced by our bodies to protect against COVID-19 are triggering increased function of platelets, which may be causing fatal blood clots in patients with severe disease.
