title: [TTP or HUS? About a case revealing an IgA nephropathy].
abstract: Thrombotic microangiopathy includes a set of conditions characterized by the association of mechanical hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia and organ failure which accurate diagnosis is sometimes difficult. We report the case of a patient who presented a thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) due to an atypical hemolytic and uremic syndrome (HUS) associated with an immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy with a favorable outcome under corticosteroid.
