Thrombotic microangiopathy, hemolytic uremic syndrome and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura: Rare manifestations of Russell’s viper (Daboia russelii) envenoming in Sri Lanka

, 2021
Background: Russell’s viper (Daboia russelii) of Family Viperidae is a highly venomous snake in Sri Lanka and is responsible for the most snakebite deaths. It commonly causes coagulopathy and neuroparalysis. Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) including the

Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura [PDF]

Annual Review of Medicine, 1988
Platelet thrombus formation in small vessels is triggered by certain stimuli, including vascular injury, primary platelet agglutination, or both. The formation and dissolution of platelet thrombi is modulated by proteolysis, plasma factors, PGI2 synthesis and stability, and immune mechanisms.

Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura [PDF]

Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 1995
Recent studies indicate that CRTTP patients have excessive shear stress-induced platelet aggregation that is associated with the presence of ULvWF multimers in their plasma and increased vWF-binding to their platelets by flow cytometry. In these CRTTP patients, relapses, excessive shear-aggregation and the presence in their plasma of ULvWF forms are ...

Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura

Pediatric Emergency Care, 2011
In 1924, Dr Eli Moschcowitz described a 16-year-old adolescent girl with abrupt onset of petechiae, hemolytic anemia, followed by paralysis, coma, and death. Autopsy showed widespread hyaline thrombi in the terminal arterioles and capillaries of various organs. The syndrome described by Moschowitz is now known as thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura.

Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura

Blood Coagulation & Fibrinolysis, 1992
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura is an uncommon disorder, but it continues to be of considerable interest. The disease mechanisms are unclear and the aetiology is unknown. Perhaps most enigmatic of all, the mode of action of plasma therapy, which successfully induces remission in about two-thirds of cases, is wholly inexplicable. There are currently

Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura

Disease-a-Month, 2014
Moschowitz first described thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) in 1925 in a 16-yearold female who presented with fever, petechiae, and a microangiopathic hemolytic anemia. Autopsy examination at the time revealed hyaline thrombi in the vascular beds of many organs. By 1947, several more cases were described and Singer suggested the term TTP.

Diagnostic accuracy of the PLASMIC score in patients with suspected thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Transfusion, 2020
The PLASMIC score was developed to identify patients with thrombotic microangiopathy who are most likely to have immune thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) and benefit from therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE).

Archives of Internal Medicine, 1984
Freda Gardner, MD, Senior Assistant Resident, The Jewish Hospital of St Louis: A 42-year-old woman was in good health until four weeks prior to her admission, when she noted that minor trauma caused large ecchymotic lesions. One week prior to admission, she experienced the sudden onset of dysarthria, weakness and paresthesias of her right arm, light ...

Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura

The American Journal of Medicine, 1952
Abstract 1.1. The clinical and pathologic observations of two cases of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura are presented. 2.2. This condition is characterized by the clinical triad of (1) hemolytic anemia; (2) thrombocytopenic purpura and (3) mental and neurologic abnormalities which may be bizarre or transient.
