Abstract
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) after bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is a serious complication that, in contrast to classic TTP, is generally not responsive to therapeutic plasma exchange. We describe the remission of TTP after autologous BMT by administration of cyclosporin in four patients, either after failure of plasmapheresis (two patients) or as primary treatment modality (two patients). Cyclosporin may be an attractive drug for post autologous BMT-TTP.Entities:
