| Notes: |
Antiphospholipid syndrome is a paradoxical disease state with in vitro prolongation of activated partial thromboplastin time and a strong predilection for in vivo thrombosis. The syndrome can be associated with systemic lupus erythematosus or lupus-like diseases or may be primary, presenting with thrombotic phenomena in young patients with no risk factors for thrombosis. We present two cases seen in two different settings in the hospital.
