RESUMEN
La púrpura trombocitopénica trombótica asociada a lupus eritematoso sistémico es muy poco frecuente. Se presentó una paciente con síndrome febril prolongado, poliartralgias, cefalea, papiledema bilateral y cambios conductuales. Se describen la evolución clínica, los estudios imagenológicos, de laboratorio e inmunológicos que permitieron hacer el diagnóstico de púrpura trombocitopénica trombótica secundaria a lupus eritematoso sistémico. Se consideró importante presentar este caso por la poca frecuencia con que se diagnostica la asociación de ambas entidades, además, porque el diagnóstico constituyó un reto para especialistas y residentes de medicina interna(AU)
ABSTRACT
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura associated with systemic lupus erythematosus is very rare. One patient with prolonged febrile syndrome, polyarthralgia, headache, bilateral papilledema and behavioral changes is presented here. The clinical course, the imaging, laboratory and immunological studies that allowed the diagnosis of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura secondary to systemic lupus erythematosus are described. It was considered important to present this case by the infrequency with which the association of both entities also diagnosed because the diagnosis was a challenge for specialists and internal medicine residents(AU)
