diarrhea, rash, and dyspepsia
(indigestion).
-TTP is a rare (3 to 4 in 1 million)

blood vessels of the body, resulting
in low platelet count. Its clinical
manifestations include
thrombocytopenia, neurologic
symptoms, and fever.

will not receive the same benefits.
Inform them that testing is available
to determine their status.
-Teach patients that clopidogrel
