  • Title: Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura and systemic lupus erythematosus.
    Author: Fox DA, Faix JD, Coblyn J, Fraser P, Smith B, Weinblatt ME.
    Journal: Ann Rheum Dis; 1986 Apr; 45(4):319-22. PubMed ID: 3707220.
    Abstract:
    We report two patients with systemic lupus erythematosus who subsequently developed thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. In each case the coexistence of these two conditions was confirmed by pathological findings. Both patients responded to treatment, but one eventually died. A review of the literature suggests a possible relationship between the two disorders.
