Abstract

We highlight a novel case of TAFRO syndrome with disseminated intravascular coagulation, neurologic changes, and non-ischemic cardiomyopathy. Through this clinical vignette, we hope to raise awareness of TAFRO syndrome and encourage providers to maintain a high level of suspicion for it when evaluating patients who meet the diagnostic criteria.

Keywords: DIC; anemias; cytokines; thrombocytopenia.
