The persistent presence in plasma of medium to high levels of IgG and/or IgM class anticardiolipin antibodies (aCL) and/or the lupus anticoagulant (LAC) is associated with both “recurrent pregnancy loss” and venous and arterial thrombosis. This clinicoserological entity, first described in the early eighties in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus was termed the antiphospholipid syndrome ...
