Anticardiolipin antibodies in leptospirosis.
The clinical course and serology of 16 cases of leptospirosis in an area with an unusually high endemic infection rate were studied to gain further insight into the pathology of the secondary immune phase that is typical of the disease. IgG anticardiolipin antibody concentrations were measured by immunoassay and found to be increased in eight serologically confirmed cases with severe complicate...
متن کامل[Clinical complications in a series of patients with anticardiolipin antibodies].
An analysis was made of clinical complications, determined with objective methods, in 68 patients at the University Clinic of Navarra with the clinical suspicion of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and presence of anticardiolipin antibodies (ACA). Patients with IgG higher than 23 GPL were considered for the study. The most prevalent pathology was thrombosis: venous thrombosis (42.6%) and arteria...
متن کاملTesting for and clinical significance of anticardiolipin antibodies.
The disputed nomenclature of the antibodies associated with the antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) can easily confuse the reader. In this paper we use the historical terms; thus, “antiphospholipid antibodies” (aPL) refers to antibodies associated with the clinical syndrome of venous and arterial thrombosis, recurrent fetal loss, livido reticularis, thrombocytopenia, and other, less common manifest...
متن کاملClinical significance of anticardiolipin antibodies in juvenile idiopathic arthritis.
OBJECTIVE Anticardiolipin antibodies (aCL) have been demonstrated in a large spectrum of autoimmune diseases. However, its occurrence in childhood, in particular in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), is not well established. The present study addressed the frequency and clinical significance of aCL in a group of JIA patients. METHODS aCL (IgG and IgM isotypes), antinuclear antibodies (ANA),...
متن کاملComplement activation by anticardiolipin antibodies.
A haemolytic assay was used to test the complement fixation ability of 16 serum samples with high concentrations of anti-cardiolipin antibodies. Fourteen patients had clinical complications usually associated with these antibodies--namely, recurrent abortions, thrombosis, or thrombocytopenia. Complement fixation by anticardiolipin antibodies was shown in only four of these patients and was not ...
