Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura in carbon monoxide poisoning. Report of a case.
A young, previously healthy man was arrested for bizarre behavior outside his poorly ventilated hotel room. He was found to have carbon monoxide poisoning and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura complicated by respiratory dysfuntion. The occurrence of these previously unrelated diseases in the same patient may be more than coincidence.
