Abstract
We report on a young Ghanaian female who was diagnosed with TTP but had
ischaemic stroke as initial presentation. She was successfully treated
with therapeutic plasma exchange. This case illustrates how TTP can
masquerade as ischaemic stroke and the application of PLASMIC score
without ADAMTS 13 assay in risk prediction.04 Oct 2022Submitted to Clinical Case Reports 05 Oct 2022Submission Checks Completed
