Abstract
We present two female nonsmoker Buerger's disease cases with anticardiolipin autoantibodies and a poor prognosis. One was a 64-year-old female who has had multiple lower and upper extremity amputations, while the other was a 32-year-old female with extremity and visceral artery involvement. Since both were positive for anticardiolipin antibodies, we speculate that Buerger's disease is an autoimmune disorder.Entities:
