Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is rare complication resulting from adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD). We report the case of a 69-year-old Japanese man who initially presented with fever and joint pain and was diagnosed as having concurrent AOSD with TTP 1 month later. He had extremely high ferritin levels (32 696 ng/mL). He initially responded to plasma exchange but subsequently died of septic shock. AOSD accompanied by extremely high ferritin levels might be considered a sign of concurrent TTP.
血栓性血小板减少性紫癜(TTP)是一种罕见的并发症,可由成人Still 病(AOSD)引起。我们报告了一例 69 岁日本男性,最初表现为发热和关节痛,1 个月后诊断为 AOSD 合并 TTP。他的铁蛋白水平极高(32696ng/mL)。他最初对血浆置换有反应,但随后死于感染性休克。伴有极高铁蛋白水平的 AOSD 可能被认为是并发 TTP 的标志。
