    Author: Marr H, McDonald EJ, Merriman E, Smith M, Mangos H, Stoddart C, Ganly P.
    Journal: N Z Med J; 2009 Apr 03; 122(1292):72-4. PubMed ID: 19448776.
    Abstract:
    The microangiopathic anaemia with thrombocytopenia--which can occur after haematopoietic stem cell transplant--resembles thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura but has different pathophysiology and does not respond to plasma exchange. We describe a patient with severe manifestations of this disorder who recovered promptly following treatment with rituximab, an anti-CD20 antibody.
