Abstract

Earlier variants of SARS-CoV-2 have been associated with hypercoagulability and an extensive formation of fibrin amyloid microclots, which are considered to contribute to the pathology of the coronavirus 2019 disease (COVID-19). The newer omicron variants appear to be far more transmissible, but less virulent, even when taking immunity acquired from previous infections or vaccination into account. We here show that while the clotting parameters associated with omicron variants are significantly raised over those of healthy, matched controls, they are raised to levels significantly lower than those seen with more severe variants such as beta and delta. We also observed that individuals infected with omicron variants manifested less extensive microclot formation in platelet-poor plasma compared with those harboring the more virulent variants. The measurement of clotting effects between the different variants acts as a kind of “internal control” that demonstrates the relationship between the extent of coagulopathies and the virulence of the variant of interest. This adds to the evidence that microclots may play an important role in reflecting the severity of symptoms observed in COVID-19.

Ethics Statement

Ethical approval for blood collection and microclot analysis of blood samples from participants with COVID-19 and healthy individuals was given by the Health Research Ethics Committee (HREC) of Stellenbosch University (reference N19/03/043, project ID 9521; renewal 2021 and 2022). This laboratory study was performed in strict adherence to the International Declaration of Helsinki, South African Guidelines for Good Clinical Practice, and the South African Medical Research Council (SAMRC) Ethical Guidelines for research. Consent was obtained from all participants. A positive COVID-19 test was confirmed before blood collection. Genomic sequencing to confirm SARS-CoV-2 is covered under Health Research Ethics Committee (HREC) of Stellenbosch University (reference #N20/04/008_COVID-19) as part of the National Genomics Surveillance Program.
