Abstract:
This study is a presentation of a case of a 43 year old woman suffering from thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, the clinical course of which was complicated and in which no improvement was observed after fresh frozen plasma transfusions and treatment with steroids. The complete clinical and haematological remission was obtained only after intensive plasma exchange by therapeutical plasmapheresis.
