       When infected with  #SarsCoV2 , the body produces a series of immune responses. One of them involves platelets, sticking to immune cells to form clumps of cells in the bloodstream. In a study using image-based flow cytometry, a team of researchers demonstrated a rapid rise in concentrations of platelet aggregates in patients admitted to intensive care with #Covid infections. This enabled them to identify a biomarker for predicting the risk of severe illness. **#healthcare** **#healthcarenews **
