BACKGROUND
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura-hemolytic uremic syndrome is a life-threatening condition with various etiopathogeneses. Without therapy approximately 90% of all patients die from the disease.
METHODS
We report the case of a 17-year-old Caucasian woman with widespread hematomas and
Bernard Soulier syndrome (BSS) is an autosomal recessive disorder of platelet function. Factor XI deficiency leads to a variable bleeding tendency and the defect is also inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. In this paper we describe a case of BSS with severe deficiency of factor XI. The
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a severe occlusive microangiopathy characterized by thrombocytopenia, haemolytic anemia, renal dysfunction, neurological signs and fever. In most cases the disease is associated with the presence of ultra large multimers of von Willebrand factor in the
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a rare multi-system disease characterised by the pentad of microangiopathic haemolytic anaemia, thrombocytopenia, renal dysfunction, fever and neurologic changes. A hereditary form of recurrent familial TTP has been described, which usually presents in
This review summarizes the state of the art of apheresis in hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) and in thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). Both entities are characterized by thrombotic microangiopathy, hemolytic anemia, and thrombocytopenia. While HUS often presents with renal insufficiency,
Individuals with Noonan's syndrome are likely to have one or more coagulation abnormalities: complex platelet function defects, partial Factor XI deficiency, or von Willebrand's disease. A distinctive platelet function defect has not been identified. The authors describe a 24-year-old women with
Adalimumab is a drug used in the treatment of refractory psoriasis. We present a case of a 55-year-old male patient who developed petechiae and purpura after the ninth dose of adalimumab therapy. The results of laboratory investigations revealed factor XI (F.XI) deficiency. It should be recognized
OBJECTIVE
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura and atypical haemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) are acute, rare, life-threatening thrombotic microangiopathies that require swift management. We report a case of acute microangiopathic haemolytic anaemia (MAHA) presenting in perioperative
In thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) and in the hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) fibrin-platelet thrombi occlude arterioles and capillaries. The mechanism of endothelial cell injury and the mechanism of thrombosis are the most important physiopathological events in this pathology and are
Despite differences in the composition of fresh frozen plasma (FFP) and solvent/detergent-treated plasma, prospective controlled clinical trials have not revealed any significant difference in clinical efficacy and tolerance between the two types of plasma. Evidence of the clinical efficacy of
We encountered the case of a 4-year-old boy with thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) of unknown etiology. Verotoxin-induced hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), Streptococcus-pneumoniae-related HUS, factor H deficiency, drug-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), and ADAMTS13 (von Willebrand
Thrombotic microangiopathies (TMAs) comprise a group of distinct disorders characterized by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and microvascular thrombosis. For many years distinction between these TMAs, especially between thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) and hemolytic
