Antiphospholipid syndromes in infectious diseases

Hematology/oncology Clinics of North America

Abstract

Antiphospholipid antibodies are essential in the diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), or the classic "Hughes syndrome," which is a systemic disorder that is autoimmune in nature. They are also found in various infections in low titers without any evidence of thrombotic manifestations of APS. However, in a few infections, when antiphospholipid antibodies are associated with protein cofactor, there can be associated thrombosis. Different infections are also responsible for triggering a subset of lethal APS, acute catastrophic APS. This situation requires prompt diagnosis and aggressive treatment of the infection to prevent severe complications.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.

Autoimmune Polyendocrinopathies

Autoimmune polyendocrinopathies, also called polyglandular autoimmune syndromes (PGASs), or polyendocrine autoimmune syndromes(PASs), are a heterogeneous group of rare diseases characterized by autoimmune activity against more than one endocrine organ, although non-endocrine organs can be affected. Discover the latest research on autoimmune polyendocrinopathies here.

Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndromes

This feed focuses on a rare genetic condition called Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndromes, which are characterized by autoantibodies against multiple endocrine organs. This can lead to Type I Diabetes.

Antiphospholipid Syndrome

Antiphospholipid syndrome or antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS or APLS), is an autoimmune, hypercoagulable state caused by the presence of antibodies directed against phospholipids.
