Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura associated with Human Immunodeficiency Virus infection.

Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) belongs to the group of diseases called Thrombotic microangiopathies (TMA). While several triggering conditions are known, often none is apparent in the individual case. We report a patient presenting with TTP that was associated with a Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection, with its consequent diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic implications. Further, our case had individual clinical features that were of interest within the TTP-HIV subgroup.

Musculoskeletal problems in the separation of ischiopagus tetrapus twins.

A pair of ischiopagus tetrapus twins were successfully separated in Calcutta in 1986. The gastrointestinal tracts were separated at a preliminary operation, and the definitive operation was performed 3 months later. Four iliac osteotomies, division of symphysis pubes, and reconstruction of individual pelves with dissection and separation of pelvic organs alloted to individual twins were the procedures performed in the definitive operation. The musculoskeletal results have been excellent in the present case.
