Abstract

Monoclonal gammopathy of uncertain significance (MGUS) may become symptomatic for autoimmune manifestations. We report on the prevalence and clinical course of immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) observed in a consecutive series of 228 MGUS patients. At MGUS diagnosis, ITP was determined in 6/228 cases, accounting for a prevalence of 2630/100 000 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1210-5620]. One incidental ITP case occurred after 21 months of follow-up. After a follow-up of 681.3 patient-years, the crude incidence of ITP in MGUS was 146.8 per 100 000 patient-year (95% CI: 3.7-817.8). Overall, these observations point to an association between MGUS and ITP.
