Antiphospholipid Syndrome and Antibodies
Antiphospholipid syndrome is an acquired thrombophilia characterized by venous or artery thrombosis sometimes accompanied by thrombocytopenia in the presence of anti-phospholipid antibodies. The 14th International Antiphos-pholipid Antibodies Congress was combined with the 4th Latin American Congress on Autoimmunity and took place in Rio de Janeiro in September 2013. In this special issue we ha...
متن کاملAntiphospholipid antibodies in systemic lupus erythematosus and the antiphospholipid syndrome.
The family of autoantibodies known as antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) and the lupus anticoagulant (LA) are associated with a spectrum of clinical manifestations including life-threatening thrombosis. While our current knowledge of thrombosis is imperfect and the mere presence of aPL is imprecisely associated with clinical events, our knowledge in this area has greatly expanded in recent years...
متن کاملMultiorgan failure and antiphospholipid antibodies: the catastrophic antiphospholipid (Asherson's) syndrome.
A review of 250 patients with the catastrophic antiphospholipid (Asherson's) syndrome (CAPS) taken from the web site organized by the Europhospholipid Group (http://www.med.ub.es/MIMMUN/FORUM/CAPS.HTM) is presented in this paper. A short historical overview of the antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is followed by a description of the "triggering" factors, associated autoimmune diseases, clinical p...
متن کاملManaging antiphospholipid antibodies and antiphospholipid syndrome in children.
Antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) and antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) are increasingly being recognized in children. Transient non-pathogenic aPL are often seen after childhood infections, while thrombotic events seem rare in those with true aPL. We discuss the main scenarios faced when dealing with children with aPL--asymtomatic aPL, primary APS and secondary APS. Children with thrombotic even...
متن کامل[Antiphospholipid antibodies and antiphospholipid syndrome: diagnosis and management].
Antiphospholipid syndrome is an acquired autoimmune thrombophilia that produces significant morbidity and mortality. Its diagnosis requires the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies and clinical manifestations that include thrombotic phenomena and/or recurrent miscarriages. Antiphospholipid antibodies may be detected in many instances, including healthy subjects. Clinical manifestations are v...
