AbstractThrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is a grave complication after haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and effective treatment is undefined. Five patients with postHSCT TMA, which was refractory to at least 1 week of plasma exchange and prednisolone, were treated with rituximab (375 mg/m 2/week × 4). Remission was achieved in four patients, of whom three remained in remission and one had died of sepsis at a median follow-up of 10 months. ADAMTS13 levels were low in all evaluable patients, and only one patient showed significant anti-ADAMTS13 antibody. The levels of ADAMTS13 and anti-ADAMTS13 antibody did not change significantly with rituximab-induced remission. © 2007 The Authors.
