CHAO PEREIRA, Caridad; NIEVAS SANCHEZ, Marianne; ROCA CAMPANA, Víctor y VALDES ALVAREZ, Karen. Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura secondary to systemic lupus erythematosus. Rev cubana med [online]. 2015, vol.54, n.3, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-302X.
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura associated with systemic lupus erythematosus is very rare. One patient with prolonged febrile syndrome, polyarthralgia, headache, bilateral papilledema and behavioral changes is presented here. The clinical course, the imaging, laboratory and immunological studies that allowed the diagnosis of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura secondary to systemic lupus erythematosus are described. It was considered important to present this case by the infrequency with which the association of both entities also diagnosed because the diagnosis was a challenge for specialists and internal medicine residents.
