(Request a copy)Folie à deux - Thrombosis and Infections Abstract: Although infections are not represented in the Revised Geneva or Wells score, they increase the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) similarly to the known risk factors (immobilization, major surgery, active neoplasia). This increased risk of VTE can persist for six to twelve months after infection; moreover, the more severe the infection, the higher the risk of VTE may be. In addition to VTEs, infections can promote arterial thromboembolism. For example, 20% of pneumonias are accompanied by an acute cardiovascular event (acute coronary syndrome, heart failure, atrial fibrillation). In the case of infection-associated atrial fibrillation, the CHA2DS2 VASc score remains an appropriate guide for the indication of anticoagulation.
