    Author: Wong KL, Liu HW, Ho K, Chan K, Wong R.
    Journal: J Rheumatol; 1991 Aug; 18(8):1187-92. PubMed ID: 1941822.
    Abstract:
    Ninety-one consecutive patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) were studied. Forty-two patients had positive anticardiolipin antibodies (aCl) 40 aCl-IgG (44.4%); 4 aCl-IgA (4.4%); 1 aCl-IgM (1.1%). One patient had both aCl-IgG and aCl-IgA and 1 patient had aCl-IgG, aCl-IgA and aCl-IgM. Ten patients (11.1%) had lupus anticoagulant (LA). Both aCl isotypes and LA had no statistical association with thrombosis or thrombocytopenia.
