Successful mRNA SARS-Cov-2 vaccine rechallenge after a first episode of immune thrombocytopenic purpura.

In 2021, the world experienced the most extensive vaccination campaign to defeat COVID-19. Many cases of idiopathic thrombocytopenia have been reported following injections of SARS-Cov-2 mRNA vaccine. We present the case of a 73-year-old woman with de novo ITP after a first injection of SARS-Cov-2 mRNA vaccine (Moderna vaccine) who experienced a successful rechallenge of SARS-Cov-2 mRNA vaccine (Pfizer vaccine) a few months later.

Pediatric ocular trauma: Characteristics and outcomes among a French cohort (2007-2016).

Unlabelled: Pediatric ocular trauma is a major cause of acquired monocular blindness. Post-traumatic visual impairment can lead to significant handicap. In France, recent data on the epidemiology of pediatric ocular trauma are lacking.

Development and evaluation of the Walking Estimated-Limitation Calculated by History questionnaire in patients with claudication.

Background: The Walking Impairment Questionnaire (WIQ) is used to estimate walking impairment in patients with peripheral artery disease; however, it faces frequent errors when self-completed and is complex to score. We aimed to validate an alternative, easily scored four-item tool, the Walking Estimated-Limitation Calculated by History (WELCH) questionnaire.

Methods: The WIQ and WELCH were prospectively tested in five centers.

Superficial venous thrombosis and venous thromboembolism: a large, prospective epidemiologic study.

Background: Superficial venous thrombosis (SVT) is perceived to have a benign prognosis.

Objective: To assess the prevalence of venous thromboembolism in patients with SVT and to determine the 3-month incidence of thromboembolic complications.

Design: National cross-sectional and prospective epidemiologic cohort study.
