Previous studies have indicated the usefulness of absolute immature platelet counts (A‐IPCs) in the management and diagnostic algorithm of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). Specifically a threefold increase in A‐IPC from baseline may be diagnostic of TTP. Here, A‐IPC was used to understand a coexisting immune dysregulation complicating TTP treatment.
