Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a life- threatening disease that can be secondary to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The fist- line treatments of TTP are steroid, immunosuppressor and plasm exchange (PE). However, some patients may have a poor response to these treatments. Bortezomib is a selective proteasome inhibitor and widely used to treat patients with multiple myeloma (MM). In recent years, bortezomib has been used to treat patients with refractory TTP. Here we report a patient with refractory TTP associated with SLE and had a successful treatment with bortezomib.
血栓性血小板减少性紫癜(TTP)是一种可继发于系统性红斑狼疮(SLE)的危及生命的疾病。TTP的一线治疗方法是使用类固醇、免疫抑制剂和血浆置换(PE)。然而,一些患者可能对这些治疗反应不佳。硼替佐米是一种选择性蛋白酶体抑制剂,广泛用于治疗多发性骨髓瘤(MM)患者。近年来,硼替佐米已被用于治疗难治性TTP患者。在此,我们报告一例与SLE相关的难治性TTP患者,其接受硼替佐米治疗取得成功。
