Primary antiphospholipid syndrome presenting as antiphospholipid syndrome nephropathy: a case report

INTRODUCTION Primary antiphospholipid syndrome can be a difficult diagnosis in the absence of typical clinical features. We describe an unusual presentation of primary antiphospholipid syndrome mimicking vasculitis for which the only diagnostic clue on initial presentation was antiphospholipid syndrome nephropathy. CASE PRESENTATION A 29-year-old Sri Lankan woman presented with features mimic...

Antiphospholipid Syndrome Presenting with Superior Vena Cava Thrombosis

Primary antiphospholipid syndrome presenting as complicated Henoch-Schönlein purpura.

A child showing signs of Henoch-Schönlein purpura developed a right tibiofibular vascular thrombosis. Antiphospholipid antibody tests were positive for both lupus anticoagulant and anticardiolipin antibodies. This suggests that an antiphospholipid syndrome should be considered in cases of Henoch-Schönlein purpura and antiphospholipid antibodies should be measured to determine whether prophylact...

Antiphospholipid syndrome presenting as cardiac failure.

Sir, Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is a thrombo-philic disorder commonly associated with venous and arterial thrombosis, recurrent fetal loss and thrombocytopenia. Even though cardiac manifestations are well recognized, congestive cardiac failure (CCF) as an initial presenting feature is very uncommon. We present three cases presenting predominantly as cardiac failure where the diagnosis of A...
