FELIPE-DIAZ, Oscar Jair; GAVIRIA, Mónica; TRUJILLO CORREA, María Cristina  and  RIVAS GONZALEZ, Ana María. Antiphospholipid syndrome and infection by HIV. Rev.Colomb.Reumatol. [online]. 2010, vol.17, n.3, pp.191-195. ISSN 0121-8123.

Even though it is well documented the great incidence of antiphospholipid antibodies associated with HIV infection, there are few reports of clinic thrombosis related with the presence of these antibodies. We expose the case of a 47 year old male with recent diagnosis of HIV infection, presenting with antiphospholipid syndrome manifesting as necrotic skin lesions in lower limbs and high levels of IgG anticardiolipin.

Keywords : antiphospholipid syndrome; HIV; anticardiolipin; cutaneous necrosis.
