| Core Tip |
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) has a very high fatality rate if there is no timely diagnosis and treatment. Here we report a case of refractory TTP in a woman with decreased ADAMTS13 activity. Although the patient was refractory to daily plasma exchange, her platelet count and ADAMTS13 activity returned to normal after 6 d of treatment with rituximab. This case suggested that rituximab can improve the curative efficiency of plasma exchange in TTP. |
