摘要
We report a patient with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura and genetic haemochromatosis. The patient was shown by the polymerase chain reaction to be homozygous for the Cys282Tyr mutation of the HFE gene. Liver biopsy showed micronodular cirrhosis and the presence of an iron-free focus which was thought to be pre-neoplastic.
