We record six patients, all with high titres of these antibodies (greater than SD) in serum, who developed recurrent vascular occlusions six to 12 weeks after warfarin withdrawal. Five of the six had deep vein thrombosis, while the sixth suffered a myocardial infar...

The present work aimed at ascertaining the clinical significance of ACA levels among HCV infection associated with two commonly encountered diseases, thrombocytopenia and arteriovenous-shunt malfunction. Six groups were studied, 11 HCV-positive thromboc...
متن کاملAnticardiolipin antibody-related thrombocytopenia: persistent remission after splenectomy.
The lupus anticoagulant (LAC) and anticardiolipin antibody (ACA) syndromes require particular therapeutic approaches: thrombotic accidents are an indication for oral anticoagulant therapy (OAT), whereas severe thrombocytopenia may require the special treatments used for immunologic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). We describe the case of a 21-year-old male who presented with axillary vein thromb...
