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.

Palabras clave : antiphospholipid syndrome; HIV; anticardiolipin; cutaneous necrosis.
