Abstract
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a severe and potentially fatal syndrome increasingly reported shortly after allogeneic bone mar row transplantation. We report a 49-year-old patient who developed a r ecurrent and ultimately fatal form of TTP late after autotransplant fo r chronic myeloid leukemia.
