Vertebral Artery Thrombosis in Chronic Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura.

ABSTRACT: Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is an autoimmune hematological disorder that causes decreased production and destruction of platelets leading to thrombocytopenia. Although thrombocytopenia usually causes hemorrhagic problems, thrombotic events like strokes, although rare, can still occur. Management of thrombotic events in patients with ITP differs from that of patients with normal platelet count function and count.A 32-year-old female with a history of ITP presented with ischemic stroke. The patient was treated in the hospital with IV immunoglobulin, discharged to a rehabilitation facility, and had complete resolution of symptoms when examined at a follow-up visit 3 months later.Although stroke in patients with ITP is very rare due to thrombocytopenia, it has been reported in several other published cases and is likely associated with increased platelet microparticle levels, a byproduct of platelet destruction. While usage of antiplatelet therapy in such patients is debated, immunosuppression therapy has been the mainstay treatment in all published cases.

Multivessel coronary thrombosis in a patient with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura.

Project description:A 49-year-old woman who had idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura was admitted to our hospital with severe chest pain. Electrocardiography revealed inferolateral myocardial infarction. The patient underwent immediate coronary angiography, which revealed thrombi in the left coronary system. Percutaneous intervention was not indicated, because the thrombi had occluded the distal segments of multiple coronary arteries. Administration of tirofiban satisfactorily dissolved the thrombi.

HIGH DOSE PULSE DEXAMETHASONE THERAPY IN CHRONIC IDIOPATHIC THROMBOCYTOPENIC PURPURA.

Project description:We studied the response to pulse high dose dexamethasone (DXM) in 12 consecutive patients of symptomatic chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) who had not responded to the standard forms of therapy. All patients had been exhibited to two or more cycles of prednisolone. Besides this 5 patients had also been given danazol and 4 patients had undergone splenectomy. Six cycles of dexamethasone (40 mg per day for 4 sequential days every 4 weeks) were successfully given in all 12 patients. At the end of the sixth cycle there were 7 (58%) complete responders (CR) [platelet count (PLT)100 × 109 /L], 1 partial responder (PR) [PLT-50-100 × 109/L] and 4 non responders (NR) [PLT < 50 × 107L]. Follow up at 1 year showed 4 (33.3%) patients each in CR, PR and NR group. Side effects noted were increased appetite in 8 (66.6%) patients, hyperalertness in 6 (50%) patients, abdominal discomfort in 5 (41.6%) patients and nausea with vomiting in 2 (16.6%) patients. We were not able to identify any chemical or laboratory prognostic parameter which would allow prediction of a successful outcome of this treatment.

Gene expression profile of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP)

Project description:Five ITP and five control whole blood samples were collected with IRB approval. The age range of ITP patients was 1-54 years, and the range in platelet counts was 2,000-98,000 W 109/L. We examined only one ITP sample for antiplatelet antibodies, and found it to be positive. Total RNA was isolated from 2.5 ml whole blood according to the PAXgene Blood RNA System (PreAnalytix, Switzerland). RNA isolated from ITP patients and controls, along with Human Universal Reference RNA (Stratagene, La Jolla, CA) were linearly amplified using the MessageAmp aRNA amplification kit (Ambion, Austin, TX).

Pregnancy and Birth Outcomes among Women with Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura.

Project description:ObjectiveTo examine pregnancy and birth outcomes among women with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) or chronic ITP (cITP) diagnosed before or during pregnancy.MethodsA linkage of mothers and babies within a large U.S. health insurance database that combines enrollment data, pharmacy claims, and medical claims was carried out to identify pregnancies in women with ITP or cITP. Outcomes included preterm birth, elective and spontaneous loss, and major congenital anomalies.ResultsResults suggest that women diagnosed with ITP or cITP prior to their estimated date of conception may be at higher risk for stillbirth, fetal loss, and premature delivery. Among 446 pregnancies in women with ITP, 346 resulted in live births. Women with cITP experienced more adverse outcomes than those with a pregnancy-related diagnosis of ITP. Although 7.8% of all live births had major congenital anomalies, the majority were isolated heart defects. Among deliveries in women with cITP, 15.2% of live births were preterm.ConclusionsThe results of this study provide further evidence that cause and duration of maternal ITP are important determinants of the outcomes of pregnancy.

Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura.

Project description:Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a clearly defined entity of the thrombotic microangiopathies (TMA), a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia with red cell fragmentation, thrombocytopenia and organ dysfunction due to disturbed microcirculation. TTP is characterized by a severe deficiency of ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with a thrombospondin type 1 motif, member 13), an enzyme responsible for physiological cleavage of von Willebrand factor (VWF). Organ dysfunction can be severe and life-threatening, and immediate start of appropriate therapy is necessary to avoid permanent damage or death. Until recently, therapeutic options were limited to symptomatic measures, which were not standardized or based on high scientific evidence. In recent years, not only considerable progress has been made in better diagnosis of TTP, but also new therapeutic strategies have been established. Initial treatment is still based on plasma exchange and symptomatic measures to protect organ function, but new concepts (immunosuppression, targeted anti-VWF or anti-complement therapy, replacement with recombinant enzymes) have recently demonstrated impressive advantages.

Nocardia transvalensis Disseminated Infection in an Immunocompromised Patient with Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura.

Project description:Nocardia transvalensis complex includes a wide range of microorganisms with specific antimicrobial resistance patterns. N. transvalensis is an unusual Nocardia species. However, it must be differentiated due to its natural resistance to aminoglycosides while other Nocardia species are susceptible. The present report describes a Nocardia species involved in an uncommon clinical case of a patient with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura and pulmonary nocardiosis. Microbiological and molecular techniques based on the sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene allowed diagnosis of Nocardia transvalensis sensu stricto. The successful treatment was based on trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and other drugs. We conclude that molecular identification of Nocardia species is a valuable technique to guide good treatment and prognosis and recommend its use for daily bases diagnosis.

Safety and efficacy of Gammaplex® in idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ClinicalTrials.gov--NCT00504075).

Project description:This multicentre, open-label study investigated the safety and efficacy of Gammaplex, a 5% Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIg), in patients with idiopathic (immune) thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP).Patients were between the ages of 6 and 70 years; had ITP for at least six months and had a platelet count ? 20 × 10(9)/L. Eligible patients were dosed with 1 g/kg of Gammaplex on two consecutive days, followed by assessment of safety and efficacy on Days 3, 5, 9, 14, 21, 32 and 90. Response was defined as the increase in platelet count to a threshold of ? 50 × 10(9)/L on or before Day 9 after the first dose of Gammaplex.All 35 patients received at least one infusion of Gammaplex. Twenty-nine (83%) patients responded to Gammaplex, similar to the historical control, with a 95% lower one-sided confidence interval of 68.9%. Median duration of response was 10.0 days, with an overall reduction in bleeding episodes. Gammaplex provided supranormal concentrations of total IgG; mean peak concentration (Cmax) of 45.3 g/L (4.53 g/dL), with a mean half-life of 28.5 days. Fifteen patients reported 63 Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs); the most common were headache (10 patients), vomiting (6 patients) and pyrexia (5 patients). Five of these ADRs were considered serious, one patient had three concurrent Serious Adverse Events (SAEs); these were vomiting, dehydration and headache. Two other patients each had one SAE (headache). There were no unexpected Adverse Events (AEs) or thromboembolic episodes and no significant changes in vital signs, biochemical, haematological and virology results.Gammaplex achieved a very high concentration of serum IgG but was well-tolerated and effective in the treatment of ITP with a similar degree of efficacy to the pre-determined historical control group and the pre-set statistical criteria.ClinicalTrials.gov NCT00504075 Clinical Trials Registry India 000016.

Formation and Resolution of Pial Microvascular Thrombosis in a Mouse Model of Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:Microvascular thrombosis is the hallmark pathology of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), a rare life-threatening disease. Neurological dysfunction is present in over 90% of patients with TTP, and TTP can cause long-lasting neurological damage or death. However, the pathophysiology of microvascular thrombosis in the brain is not well studied to date. Here, we investigate the formation and resolution of thrombosis in pial microvessels. Approach and Results: Using a cranial intravital microscopy in well-established mouse models of congenital TTP induced by infusion of recombinant VWF (von Willebrand factor), we found that soluble VWF, at high concentration, adheres to the endothelium of the vessel wall, self-associates, and initiates platelet adhesion resulting in the formation of pial microvascular thrombosis in ADAMTS13-/- (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with a thrombospondin type 1 motif, member 13) mice. Importantly, VWF-mediated pial microvascular thrombosis occurred without vascular injury to the brain, and thrombi consisted of resting platelets adhered onto ultra-large VWF without fibrin in the brain in rVWF (recombinant VWF) challenged ADAMTS13-/- mice. Prophylactic treatment with recombinant ADAMTS13 (BAX930) effectively prevented the onset of the VWF-mediated microvascular thrombosis and therapeutic treatment with BAX930 acutely resolved the preexisting or growing thrombi in the brain of ADAMTS13-/- mice after rVWF challenge. The absence of platelet activation and fibrin formation within VWF-mediated thrombi and efficacy of BAX930 was confirmed with an endothelial-driven VWF-mediated microvascular thrombosis model in mice. CONCLUSIONS:Our results provide important insight into the initiation and development of microvascular thrombi in mouse models that mimics TTP and indicate that rADAMTS13 could be an effective interventional therapy for microvascular thrombosis, the hallmark pathology in TTP.
