Abstract:Objective To investigate the clinical features and treatment of patients with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) to improve the diagnosis and treatment level. Methods Retrospective study of 14 cases with TTP was conducted in general conditions clinical features, laboratory tests, treatment protocols,therapeutic effect and prognosis. Results Of the 14 patients, 13 had neurological symptoms, 4 had quinary syndrome, 9 had triad syndrome, 2 were recurrent and 6 were dead. The levels of platelet (PLT), hemoglobin (Hb) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were significantly different between before and after plasma exchange (PE) (P < 0.05). Two patients were treated with Rituximab and its remission rate was 100% (2/2). Conclusions Most of patients with TTP often have triad syndrome onset and accompany by neurological symptoms, and plasma exchange is the most effective treatment. For recurrent ones, Rituximab can improve the remission rate.
