Abstract

Endothelial injury by toxins, drugs, immune complexes leads to activation of coagulation cascade and thrombosis, which result in platelet consumption and red blood cell injury. These thrombotic microangiopathies can potentially injure numerous organs and result in organ dysfunction. In this case, we present the fourth reported patient with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura associated with COVID-19. © 2021, Tehran University of Medical Sciences. All rights reserved.
