| Abstract |
|
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disease that involves vascular thrombosis and pregnancy morbidity associated with elevated titers of antiphospholipid antibodies. APS can affect any organ and has a variety of clinical manifestations. Infections can be associated with thrombotic events in APS, including the potentially fatal subset catastrophic APS. We report a case of extensive symmetrical peripheral gangrene complicating Escherichia coli sepsis associated with antiphospholipid antibodies in a patient with lupus nephritis. |
