Abstract

We present the case of a 46-year-old man who was admitted to the hospital for an episode of acute prostatitis and who, during hospitalization, presented a progressive and severe deterioration of renal function accompanied by hemolytic anemia and severe thrombocytopenia. After an etiological study, a diagnosis of thrombotic microangiopathy was reached. Treatment with eculizumab and plasmapheresis was started with a good response.
