Abstract EN
Posttransfusion purpura is a serious adverse effect of transfusion due to HPA-antibodies.
A young female was diagnosed with acute leukaemia, and treatment commenced.
Severe thrombocytopenia ensued.
No platelet increment was achieved despite transfusions with buffy coat, HLA-compatible, and HPA-1a negative platelets.
The workup indicated the presence of anti-HPA-1a.
When the diagnosis of posttransfusion purpura was sufficiently substantiated, she had experienced a fatal intracerebral haemorrhage.
