متن کاملComments, Opinions, and Reviews Cerebrovascular Ischemia Associated With Lupus Anticoagulant
The lupus anticoagulant, an acquired circulating serum y-globulin, prolongs all phospholipid-dependent coagulation tests. Recent associations of the lupus anticoagulant and focal cerebral and/or ocular ischemia have been made. We present 5 cases of lupus anticoagulant-associated cerebrovascular ischemia and review all reported cases for the first time. Clinical spectra, cerebral angiographic fi...
متن کاملFrequency, etiology, and prevention of stroke in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus.

Factors associated with stroke and the frequency of stroke were systemic thrombosis (30%), elevated partial thromboplastin time (36%), sponta...
متن کاملTransient lupus anticoagulant: an unusual cause of bruising in children.
A child presented with excessive bruising and prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time. Mixing studies in plasma were positive for phospholipid dependence of the anticoagulant, confirming a diagnosis of lupus anticoagulant. Factor II level was reduced. Laboratory findings normalised after three months, with spontaneous resolution of bruising. This case demonstrates a transient antiphosph...

Pulmonary emboli recurred despite prolonged oral anticoagulant therapy and resulted in fatal pulmonary arterial hypertension. Extended anticoagulant therapy alone may not prevent recurrent thromboembolism in patients with a lupus antico...
