Antiphospholipid Syndrome Coexisting With Evans Syndrome and SCL-70 Antibody Positivity: A Case Report. [PDF]
Clin Case RepABSTRACT This case of antiphospholipid syndrome, Evans syndrome, and anti‐Scl‐70 positivity (suggesting early SSc) showed marked symptom improvement with rituximab, but poor prognosis persists. Highlights the need for early diagnosis of overlapping autoimmunity, SSc complication monitoring, and optimized immunotherapy in complex cases.
