	abstract = {Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a rare disease which, together with hemolytic uremic syndrome, is subsumed under thrombotic microangiopathy. After stem cell transplantation (SCT), this syndrome represents a possibly fatal complication with a higher incidence in allogeneic SCT than in autologous SCT. Although plasmapheresis offers an encouraging treatment modality in classic TTP, this seems less effective in bone marrow transplant-associated microangiopathy. This is probably due to a different etiology. We present a case of transplant-associated TTP with a fatal outcome despite multiple courses of plasmapheresis.},
