A 20 year old woman, admitted with acute pancreatitis, subsequently developed microangiopathic haemolytic anaemia, thrombocytopenia and mild neurological compromise. A diagnosis of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) was made, and she was treated with plasma exchange leading to complete resolution of this condition. TTP is a rare multisystem disorder which may be life threatening if not treated promptly. The increasing recognition of acute pancreatitis as a potential aetiological factor offers new insights into the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of TTP.
一名20岁女性因急性胰腺炎入院，随后出现微血管病性溶血性贫血、血小板减少和轻度神经功能损害。诊断为血栓性血小板减少性紫癜（TTP），她接受了血浆置换治疗，病情完全缓解。TTP是一种罕见的多系统疾病，如果不及时治疗可能危及生命。急性胰腺炎作为潜在病因的认识不断增加，为TTP的发病机制、诊断和治疗提供了新的见解。
