Cerebrovascular accident and myocardial infarction associated with anticardiolipin antibodies in a young woman with systemic lupus erythematosus.

چکیده
A 26 year old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus, including malar rash, photosensitivity, and arthritis, developed a cerebrovascular accident and acute myocardial infarction. High titres to antinuclear factor, anti-DNA antibodies, positive Venereal Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL) test, and anticardiolipin antibodies were found in her serum. A possible association between the presence of anticardiolipin antibodies and the two major thrombotic events is discussed.

Background: Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) can either occur as a primary syndrome or associated with other autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Anticardiolipin antibody (aCL) of IgG and/or IgM isotype in blood, measured by a standardized ELISA is the most acceptable laboratory criteria. APS IgG isotype, particularly IgG2 subclass is more strongly associated ...
متن کاملCerebral thrombosis in systemic lupus erythematosus with the antibody antiphospholipid syndrome.
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has numerous manifestations. Haematology is the common system influenced by the disease. The antibody antiphospholipid syndrome, secondary hematology disorder in SLE, is related to high incidence of thrombosis. The thrombosis events like myocardial infarction and stroke are high in mortality. We reported a-36-year old woman treated for lung tuberculosis (TB) w...
متن کاملIschemic stroke associated with anticardiolipin antibodies.
Anticardiolipin antibodies are a group of antiphospholipid autoantibodies seen primarily in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and other autoimmune diseases. We report 3 patients, 2 without systemic lupus, who suffered ischemic brain infarction associated with these antibodies in the absence of detectable lupus anticoagulant activity. Anticardiolipin antibodies, possibly associated with...

Over 2 years, 104 patients underwent clinical evaluation and laboratory screening for the presence of abnormal anticardiolipin antibodies to determine the profile of laboratory and clinical findings in patients with stroke and other neurologic disorders. Seven with incomplete or ambiguous data were excluded; of the remaining 97 patients, 31 were greater than or equal to 65 years old. Nine patie...
متن کاملStroke in systemic lupus erythematosus.
We investigated the clinical and pathologic characteristics of stroke in 234 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. Thirteen patients (5.6%) developed cerebrovascular disease. Cerebral infarction was noted in eight, cerebral hemorrhage in two, and subarachnoid hemorrhage in three. In seven (54%) of these 13 patients, stroke occurred less than or equal to 5 years after systemic lupus erythe...
