[Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura: the need of an early treatment].
Two patients affected by thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) are treated with plasmapheresis, fresh frozen plasma infusion, steroid and inhibitors of platelet aggregation with an impaired final stage: the first patient died during a plasmapheresis session and the other had a good evolution, obtaining complete recovery, maintained a year later. We discuss the clinical features and highlight the needs for early treatment with all the latest therapies.
