Approximately, one third of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have lupus anticoagulant (LA) and fourty per cent have anticardiolipin antibodies (aCL).1-3 Hughes in 1983 pointed out the increased prevalence of vascular occlusions (venous and arterial), spontaneous recurrent fetal losses and thrombocytopenia in these patients.’ So this association was further identified as antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) or Hughes syndrome.5 5 Initially considered as a subset of SLE, APS was further reported in other conditions. It may also occur in the absence of SLE or other underlying diseases and then is called primary APS.6
