Talk:Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura

message: Both references that were included for the statement that there is a relation between anticonception use and TTP conclude that: a causal relationship between progestogen-only contraceptives and TTP is not established by the data presented. So I don't think it should be included in this article unless new hard evidence becomes available. The first study also had some follow-up letters disputing its claims. The references:

replies: text: While I agree with you that causality has never been proven, I think that the controversy is sufficiently important (and interesting) that it should be mentioned somewhere in the article. Mgmei 05:21, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  A total of 3 reported cases ever worldwide is hardly even controversial. The reported rate was not even higher than in women who didn't use norplant. It was the authors estimation (no evidence given) that it was underreported and therefore the actual rate could be actually higher. If you really want to add that to the article that's fine with me, but choose your words carefully and certainly don't state it as a fact and also for nothing else than norplant. --WS 05:35, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

:We don't usually put mnemonics on Wikipedia, because they are often very local (USA vs UK), have little value for the reader unless that reader happens to be a medical student, and so on. See WP:MEDMOS for more details. In this instance, I'd need a mnemonic to remember the mnemonic! JFW | T@lk 06:29, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

message: There is a table in the article about various conditions (but not TTP) and associated coagulation abnormalities - tangentially related, but not really relevant or informative about TTP.  I think it should be deleted.  Thoughts on this? Wawot1 (talk) 04:38, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

message: I have an expert who has given this a lot of attentiong- made the changes and added references. I am here to edit the page and I cannot figure out how to fix the reference section and then go on get the footnotes and citations working correctly. Do you have to edit the references within the article itself or can you start with the reference list?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dr.Lieberman (talk • contribs) 16:56, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
