Role of methylene blue‐treated or fresh‐frozen plasma in the response to plasma exchange in patients with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura

Twenty patients with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) underwent plasma exchange using either standard fresh‐frozen plasma (Group A, n = 13) or methylene blue‐treated plasma (Group B, n = 7). Both groups presented similar characteristics except that bilirubin values were higher in Group A (P...
