[HTML][HTML] Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura associated with dermatomyositis
Dermatomyositis and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) are both rare diseases.
TTP is a blood abnormality in which blood clots form in blood vessels leading to fatal
outcomes. Dermatomyositis is an inflammatory myopathy which causes a distinctive skin
rash and muscle weakness. We are hereby presenting the case of a 27-year-old female who
presented with characteristic skin findings on the face pathognomic of dermatomyositis and
further investigation revealed that she had underlying TTP.
