| Popis: | Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a highly fatal thrombotic microangiopathy. The clinical features characterize it are thrombocytopenia, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, neurologic abnormalities, renal dysfunction, and fever. Secondary TTP has a broad range of etiologies and has been associated with a variety of medical conditions including infections, malignancies, pregnancy, autoimmune disorder, HIV, bone marrow transplant and drugs [1, 2]. We report here a case of TTP associated with acute cholecystitis. A review of the medical literature results in only one other published report of TTP occurring in association with cholecystitis [3]. |
