Thrombocytopenia-associated multiple-organ failure (TAMOF): recognition and management

Thrombocytopenia-associated multiple-organ failure (TAMOF) is an increasingly fatal phenomenon that may be associated with sepsis. TAMOF results from immune dysregulation and impaired activity of A Disintegrin And Metalloproteinase with ThromboSpondin type 1 motif, member 13. Early recognition of this premorbid condition and specific management results in a significantly improved outcome. Herein, we report the presentation and management of a 2-year-old child with TAMOF who was successfully treated with plasma exchange and recovered without long-term sequelae.
