Abstract
Considerable interest has arisen over the past few years in a clinical syndrome characterized by a tendency to arterial or venous thrombosis, and the presence in the serum of antibodies to anionic phospholipids. In this article, Charles Mackworth-Young reviews the clinical features of this so-called 'anti-phospholipid syndrome', the characteristics of the anti-phospholipid response and the evidence for a possible role for these antibodies in pathogenesis.Entities:
