Abstract

Autoimmune thrombocytopenia unresponsive to corticosteroid therapy developed in a 16-year-old female with long-standing Sjögren's syndrome. Serial plasma exchange caused a linear decrease in platelet antibody titer associated with a concomitant rise in platelet count. Statistical analysis of sequential platelet counts revealed an increase with plasmapheresis and immunosuppression that was significantly greater than that achieved with immunosuppression alone (p <0.005).
