Abstract
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a rare condition, but important to consider in case of thrombocytopenia and haemolysis. It is imperative to proceed with the correct treatment, in order to ensure a satisfactory outcome. TTP is either acquired or idiopathic. This case report shows that a 14-year-old boy has acquired TTP due to an infection with Campylobacter jejuni and Samonella szentes. Plasma exchange plays an essential role in the treatment of TTP.
