Abstract
HIV is an increasingly common cause of thrombotic thrombocytopaenic purpura in the United Kingdom. We report a patient with both conditions who presented major therapeutic and ethical challenges. Furthermore, he was recalcitrant to all established therapies, and was, therefore, the first reported HIV patient with thrombotic thrombocytopaenic purpura to receive rituximab.
