  • Title: Systemic and cerebral vasculitis coexisting with disseminated coagulopathy in systemic lupus erythematosus associated with antiphospholipid syndrome.
    Author: Lie JT, Kobayashi S, Tokano Y, Hashimoto H.
    Journal: J Rheumatol; 1995 Nov; 22(11):2173-6. PubMed ID: 8596166.
    Abstract:
    Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) are closely related, but each has it own characteristic vasculopathy: vasculitis in SLE and thrombosis in APS, and either may be a serious or life threatening complication. When a patient has SLE associated with APS, systemic and cerebral vasculitis may coexist with disseminated coagulopathy. We report this complication in a 60-year-old woman who died from stroke and myocardial infarction, an occurrence seldom documented in the literature.
