William Aird: Physical Exam in Hit
William Aird, Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and Hematologist at Beth Israel Deaconess, shared an insightful post on X:
“PHYSICAL EXAM IN HIT

Skin necrosis at injection sites, limb ischemia, or signs of thrombosis (e.g. swollen leg, cold digits) can all be clues.
Don’t rely on bruising or bleeding. HIT is a prothrombotic state.”
