A patient with chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), chronic disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and abdominal aortic aneurysm is described. He had severe thrombocytopenia and his platelet life span was shortened (29 h). Indium 111-labeled platelet scintigraphy demonstrated an increased accumulation of radioactivity over the aneurysm and the spleen. Following preoperative heparin therapy for DIC, the platelet count remained low (10 x 10(9)/l), while the DIC improved. Because of the elevated platelet-associated IgG, we considered that the patient had complicated chronic ITP. After intravenous immunoglobulin therapy, his platelet count increased. The aneurysm was successfully replaced with an artificial Y-graft vessel and a splenectomy was performed at the same time. The platelet count was maintained at about 60 x 10(9)/l after the operation and the patient is quite well now.

D002908 Chronic Disease Diseases which have one or more of the following characteristics: they are permanent, leave residual disability, are caused by nonreversible pathological alteration, require special training of the patient for rehabilitation, or may be expected to require a long period of supervision, observation, or care (Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed). For epidemiological studies chronic disease often includes HEART DISEASES; STROKE; CANCER; and diabetes (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2).

Chemoimmunotherapy, RADIOIMMUNOTHERAPY, chemoradiotherapy, cryochemotherapy, and SALVAGE THERAPY are seen most frequently, but their combinations with each other and surgery are also used.

D004211 Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation A disorder characterized by procoagulant substances entering the general circulation causing a systemic thrombotic process. The activation of the clotting mechanism may arise from any of a number of disorders. A majority of the patients manifest skin lesions, sometimes leading to PURPURA FULMINANS.
