Antiphospholipid syndrome: a case report with an unusual wide spectrum of clinical manifestations

ConclusionBased on the patient ’s medical history and all the examination results, it was possible to make a diagnosis of primary APS and, starting from diagnosis of thrombocytopenia, we were allowed to conclude that all of manifestation were epi-phenomena of a unique clinical entity, rather than unrelated diseases. Though APS is one of the most common thrombocytophilias, unfortunately, it is not recognized often enough. The lack of prevention in undiagnosed patients may cause severe complications which can in turn result in the death of those patients.
