Abstract
Ninety-one consecutive patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) were studied. Forty-two patients had positive anticardiolipin antibodies (aCl) 40 aCl-IgG (44.4%); 4 aCl-IgA (4.4%); 1 aCl-IgM (1.1%). One patient had both aCl-IgG and aCl-IgA and 1 patient had aCl-IgG, aCl-IgA and aCl-IgM. Ten patients (11.1%) had lupus anticoagulant (LA). Both aCl isotypes and LA had no statistical association with thrombosis or thrombocytopenia.
