Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura
Abstract
A 40-year-old obese black woman has had weakness and epigastric pain for several weeks and diarrhea and vomiting for four days. She does not appear acutely ill; the physical examination is normal except for abdominal tenderness. Her hematocrit is 25 percent. The platelet count is 10,000 per cubic millimeter. The peripheral-blood smear shows occasional fragmented and polychromatophilic red cells. The serum creatinine level is 1.1 mg per deciliter (97.2 μmol per liter), bilirubin 2.5 mg per deciliter (42.8 μmol per liter), and lactate dehydrogenase 722 U per liter (normal, <250). How should this case be managed?

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
