Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura associated with transient chromosomal aberrations: successful treatment with plasma exchange.

Abstract:

:A 69-year-old woman with typical thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura is reported, who was treated successfully by plasma exchange. An initial chromosomal analysis of peripheral blood lymphocytes revealed abnormal patterns of 45, XO/46, XX/47, XXX; a second analysis showed 45, XO/46, XX/47, XXX/47, XX + 21, and a third, performed in remission, showed a normal pattern. Skin fibroblasts showed a normal pattern even during the acute disease. The association of transient chromosomal aberrations and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura might be related to a viral infection.
