Anetoderma: Is It a Sign of Autoimmunity?

Case Reports in Dermatology, 2009
Anetoderma is a rare elastolytic disorder characterized by circumscribed areas of flaccid skin due to the loss of elastic tissue in the dermis. Primary anetoderma is frequently observed in patients with autoimmune diseases or abnormalities especially ...

Functional Assessment of Platelet‐Derived Phospholipid Activity in Pooled Normal Plasmas by Low‐Phospholipid Thrombin Generation Assay and Its Impact on Lupus Anticoagulant Mixing Tests

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pooled normal plasma (PNP) used for lupus anticoagulant (LA) mixing tests may carry platelet‐derived phospholipid (PL) activity introduced during freezing/lyophilization, potentially attenuating LA‐mediated prolongation of clotting times.

Antiphospholipid Antibodies in Patients with Myasthenia Gravis [PDF]

, 1994
We measured antiphospholipid antibodies in sera from 94 patients with myasthenia gravis (MG). We found lgG aCL in 14/94 (14.9 % )lgM aCL in 6/94 (6.4 %) and LA in 4/56 (7.1 %) patients with MG. As a whole 21 of 94 (22.3 % ) patients with MG had some aPL.

Antiphospholipid antibodies in Brazilian hepatitis C virus carriers

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2008
Hepatitis C, a worldwide viral infection, is an important health problem in Brazil. The virus causes chronic infection, provoking B lymphocyte dysfunction, as represented by cryoglobulinemia, non-organ-specific autoantibody production, and non-Hodgkin's ...

Survival After Catastrophic Antiphospholipid Syndrome With Diffuse Alveolar Hemorrhage

Journal of Investigative Medicine High Impact Case Reports
Antiphospholipid syndrome is a systemic autoimmune disorder characterized by thrombotic events in the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies including lupus anticoagulant, anticardiolipin, and anti-β2-glycoprotein I antibodies.

The effect of platelet activation on the hypercoagulability induced by murine monoclonal antiphospholipid antibodies

Haematologica, 2008
Background To identify the mechanisms of the hypercoagulability associated with antiphospholipid antibodies, we investigated antibody-mediated platelet activation and interference of antibodies with phospholipid-dependent reactions.Design and Methods We ...

Placental malperfusion and angiogenesis‐related proteins are associated with small‐for‐gestational‐age in systemic lupus erythematosus

Journal of Internal Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Although systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) pregnancy frequently results in small for gestational age (SGA) infants, the understanding of underlying mechanisms is limited. We aimed to identify specific histological patterns of placental injury in SGA in SLE and to explore whether an altered balance of angiogenesis‐related proteins ...

The BH1 idiotype defines a population of anticardiolipin antibodies closely associated with the antiphospholipid syndrome

, 1999
Background: A human IgM monoclonal anticardiolipin antibody–BH1–has previously been described, which has characteristics typical of antiphospholipid antibodies in the serum of patients with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS).

Identification of Lupus Erythematosus Cells and Ragocytes in Peripheral Blood from a Dog with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A 3‐year‐old female‐intact German Shepherd presented for the evaluation of progressive shifting leg lameness, carpal swelling, and weight loss with a poor appetite since adoption about three months prior. Routine blood smear evaluation, lymph node, and synovial fluid cytologies all revealed rare neutrophils with cytoplasmic inclusions ...

The well-defined antiphospholipid syndrome induced by COVID-19: a rare case report and review of the literature

Thrombosis Journal
COVID-19 may induce a state of hypercoagulability, particularly in critically ill patients, for reasons that remain unknown. Numerous studies have identified the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies in patients with COVID-19; however, the definitive ...
