Zusammenfassung: | Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura associated with pregnancy is a rare antibody‐mediated thrombotic microangiopathy with high maternal and fetal mortality. We present a 29-year-old Bangladeshi pregnant lady of 32 weeks of gestation who presented to a tertiary care hospital with multiples episodes of generalized convulsion. She was immediately transferred to the operation theatre and after delivery of her baby, she was transferred to ICU. Her reports revealed features of hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia and renal failure. She was suspected as a case of Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura and received therapeutic plasma exchange. Her condition gradually improved and she was discharged to home in stable condition. Bangladesh Crit Care J March 2024; 12 (1): 68-71 |
