The Euro-Phospholipid project: epidemiology of the antiphospholipid syndrome in Europe
Lupus, 08/17/09

Cervera R et al. – Patients with APS associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) had more episodes of arthritis, livedo reticularis and more frequently exhibited thrombocytopenia and leucopenia. Female patients had more episodes of arthritis and livedo reticularis – both connected with the higher prevalence of migraine and SLE–related APS in women, while male patients had more myocardial infarction, epilepsy and lower limb arterial thrombosis. Childhood onset patients presented more episodes of chorea and jugular vein thrombosis, whereas older onset patients were more frequently male and had more strokes and angina pectoris, but less frequently livedo reticularis.
