[edit] Ehrlichiosis Induced TTP Mimic

Ehrlichiosis Induced TTP Mimic (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Created by CaliforniaLyme (talk • contribs) to bring her diagnosis and that of a suspected case into the limelight. Not a recognised medical entity; further discussion on Talk:Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura has not yielded any further indication that this page is about a legitimate medical diagnosis.

• Delete or merge. Haven't had a chance to verify this information, but it seems to be too subsubspecialized to merit its own page. If anything else, should be merged with ehrlichiosis or TTP, if this content is indeed correct. Andrew73 14:24, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Is based on 3 case reports and a lot of fluff. Content was removed from TTP for being too hyperspecialised. I dispute that it is worthy of inclusion with Ehlichiosis either. JFW | T@lk 16:07, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

• Mostly delete, (minimal merge) - Ehrlichiosis already mentions "bleeding due to thrombocytopenia", so this is a trivial (re number of confirmed cases, what with "In one study ... 11 of 15 patients were seronegative"") part of the overall clinical spectrum of features already discussed in Ehrlichiosis.

• Delete per nom. --WS 16:48, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete mention in Ehrlichiosis that it can mimic TTP, otherwise it's WP:NPOV#Undue weight to 3 case reports -- Samir धर्म 22:14, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
• Merge the minimal useful content, per Samir.--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 14:17, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
• delete This is beyond minutia and doesn't appear to be given much attention at all in the literature. I'm not even sure there's anything worth merging. Any Rheumatology/ID experts on call?Droliver 21:49, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
