Abstract
Many clinical phenomena have been described in association with antiphospholipid antibodies, which are measured by a variety of techniques. The relationship of each assay is not completely clear, nor is it apparent which assay correlates best with the various clinical conditions. We describe a patient with anticardiolipin antibodies but without lupus inhibitor who had widespread cutaneous necrosis and underlying thrombosis in dermal blood vessels.
