Eficacia de la asociación rituximab-vindesina en el tratamiento de un caso de púrpura trombótico-trombopénico (PTT) adquirido idiopático refractario: Report of one case

We report a 23 years old female who presented a second episode of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). She was treated with fresh frozen plasma infusions and 14 plasma exchange (PE) sessions without response. Therefore a second-line therapy was started, associating a weekly cycle administratio...
