    Author: Vasu TS, Saluja J, Amzuta IG, Lenox RJ.
    Journal: Indian J Chest Dis Allied Sci; 2007; 49(1):53-5. PubMed ID: 17256569.
    Abstract:
    Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, also known as Hughes syndrome, is a hypercoagulable disorder that increases the risk of recurrent vascular thrombosis. We present a case of 26-year-old female who developed massive bilateral pulmonary emboli after being started on oral contraceptive pills. Further work-up of the patient revealed that she had anticardiolipin antibody syndrome and the thrombotic event was precipitated by oral contraceptive pills.
