Southern Medical Journal, 05/13/09
Patel A et al. - Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a life-threatening disorder with a mortality rate of up to 90% if left untreated, and is characterized by microvascular thrombi, mainly in small arteries and capillaries, thrombocytopenia, hemolysis, and neurological abnormalities. It is critical to differentiate these two entities, as early initiation of plasmapheresis in TTP can be life saving. TTP is considered a masquerader as it can present with few clinical features and, if the index of suspicion is not very high, lead to mortality.
