OLAYA, Viviana et al. Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura Description of diagnosis and management of a rare entity with a high mortality. Acta Med Colomb [online]. 2012, vol.37, n.4, pp.201-206. ISSN 0120-2448.
We report two patients diagnosed as having idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura refractory to plasma exchange in which the use of additional treatment was necessary. In one case there was an adequate response to rituximab. We also analyze the role of ADAMTS 13 levels for the management and diagnosis of this disease. (Acta Med Colomb 2012; 37: 201-206).
