Abstract

TTP (Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic purpura) is a nonimmune, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (MAHA), associated with thrombocytopenia, fever, neurologic or renal dysfunction. Mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) is not a specific disorder and identified serologically by high titers of of antibodies to RNP. Coexistence of TTP with asymptomatic MCTD is rare encounter. We describe here a rare case of secondary TTP in a 42 year, old female presenting as menorrhagia for seven days, severe headache and one episode of seizure. This case emphasizes the early diagnosis of TTP and its association with underlying condition for proper management and to avoid fatal outcome.
