Autoimmune myelofibrosis is a distinct clinicopathological entity that occurs with autoimmune disorders. We report the case of a 44-year-old woman admitted with pancytopenia and clinical features of systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjogren’s syndrome and antiphospholipid antibodies syndrome. Bone marrow biopsy showed decreased global cells and an increase of reticulin fibres on argentic coloration, consistent with myelofibrosis. The JAK2 V617, Myeloproliferative leukemia (MPL) and calreticulin mutations were negative. The patient’s condition improved after treatment with hydroxychloroquine, vitamin K antagonists and prednisone.

This patient had diagnoses of multiple autoimmune disorders including Sjögren syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, and systemic lupus erythematosus. Sjögren syndrome can be accompanied by severe painful neuropathy and dysautonomia. Orthostatic intolerance was due to cerebral autoregulatory failure.

Summary76 German patients suffering from thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) were interrogated about the prevalence of cooccurring autoimmune disorders. In order to analyze a possible association of TTP with the questioned diseases, a comparison of prevalence rates between the patient group and the general population has been made for each disease. Results: Compared to the estimated prevalence rates, the statistical analysis revealed an unexpected high occurrence of the following disorders within the patient group: Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (23.5% within the patients compared to 0.7% within the general population, p<0.001), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) (6.5% in patients to 0.025% in the general population, p<0.001), immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) (6.3% in patients to 0.02% in the general population, p < 0.001), psoriasis (9.4% in patients to 2.5% in the general population, p = 0.005) and celiac disease (3.1% in patients to 0.2% in the general population, p = 0.007). Conclusion: These findings confirm the mentioned tendency of autoimmune diseases to co-occur in one individual and argue once more for a genetic susceptibility in idiopathic TTP as well as in autoimmune disorders.
