DiGeorge Syndrome Complicated by Secondary Antiphospholipid Syndrome Presenting With Vascular Thrombosis. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT DiGeorge syndrome (22q11.2 deletion syndrome) is a congenital disorder typically identified in infancy, but adult presentations may feature autoimmune and thrombotic complications. We report a 30‐year‐old woman with known DiGeorge syndrome who presented with progressive right lower extremity pain.

Antiphospholipid Syndrome Mimicking Acute Exacerbation of Interstitial Pneumonia: A Case Report and Literature Review. [PDF]

Respirol Case Rep
Acute exacerbation of interstitial pneumonia (IP‐AE) is a type of severe respiratory failure that occurs in patients with chronic interstitial pneumonia. However, a few cases of lung involvement caused by antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) appearing similar to IP‐AE have been reported.

Antiphospholipid Syndrome Coexisting With Evans Syndrome and SCL-70 Antibody Positivity: A Case Report. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT 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.

Deep capillary retinal ischemia and high-titer prothrombin-associated antiphospholipid antibodies: A case series of three patients

American Journal of Ophthalmology Case Reports, 2019
Purpose: Acute macular neuroretinopathy has been shown to be due to ischemia of the deep capillary retinal plexus and most cases occur in young women; we hypothesized that there may be an association with antiphospholipid antibodies.

Hypermetabolism of basal ganglia in chorea associated with antiphospholipid antibodies demonstrated by F-18 FDG

South African Journal of Radiology, 1997
A brain FDG PET study was performed on a 21-year-old woman with subacute chorea of unknown origin. Associated with her chorea, she had abnormal levels of antiphospholipid antibodies.

The Screening of Antiphospholipid Antibodies in Obstetric Antiphospholipid Syndrome-Like Events: A Regional Perspective

Gynecology Obstetrics & Reproductive Medicine, 2020
Objective: Obstetric antiphospholipid antibody syndrome is clinically recognized by adverse obstetric outcomes. To determine which antibody level best corresponds to the risk of these clinical outcomes is difficult.

Apoptosis, annexin A5 and anti-annexin A5 antibodies in the antiphospholipid syndrome [PDF]

Journal of Medical Biochemistry, 2013
It has been proposed that apoptosis is one of the mechanisms involved in the generation of antiphospholipid antibodies. The presence of antiphospholipid antibodies is the main laboratory criterion for a definite diagnosis of the antiphospholipid syndrome.

Gastrointestinal symptoms as the first manifestation of antiphospholipid syndrome

BMC Gastroenterology, 2021
Background Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an acquired pre-thrombotic autoimmune condition, which produces autoantibodies called antiphospholipid antibodies (APL) against phospholipid-binding plasma proteins. The diagnosis of APS requires at least one
