Title: Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura preceding systemic lupus erythematosus. Author: Simeon-Aznar CP, Cuenca-Luque R, Fonollosa-Pla V, Bosch-Gil JA. Journal: Ann Rheum Dis; 1992 Mar; 51(3):396-8. PubMed ID: 1575591. Abstract: The case of a patient admitted with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura nine years after developing systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is reported.

The unusual sequence and the chronological separation of the two diseases is emphasised.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
