Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) very rarely present simultaneously and pose a diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma to the physician. Prompt diagnosis and management with plasma exchange and immunosuppression is life-saving. To describe the effectiveness of cryosupernatant and steroids in pediatric SLE with TTP. We describe three children aged 12-14 years with SLE who were diagnosed with TTP based on fever, CNS manifestations, ANA, anti-dsDNA, anti-sm positivity, hypocomplementemia, and microangiopathic anemia with thrombocytopenia. All three children were managed with cryosupernatant and steroids without plasmapheresis. All children improved with cryosupernatant and steroids. All attained remission within 10 days. They were doing well at last follow up without relapse or flare. Cryosupernatant and steroids may be an effective therapy for Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura with systemic lupus erythematosus.
