TI  - Prevalence of anticardiolipin antibodies in subacute cutaneous lupus 
      erythematosus.
PG  - 265-8
AB  - We examined the prevalence of the antibodies to cardiolipin measured by 
      solid-phase enzyme immunoassay during a prospective study of patients with 
      subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (SCLE). Seven of 44 (16%) consecutive 
      patients with SCLE had positive anticardiolipin antibodies; of these only three 
      satisfied the American Rheumatism Association's revised criteria for the 
      classification of systemic lupus erythematosus. Clinical findings probably 
      associated with the positive anticardiolipin antibodies were found in four cases, 
      including clotting abnormalities, thrombocytopenia, hemolytic anemia, livedo 
      reticularis, chilblain lupus erythematosus lesions, migraine, leg venous 
      thrombosis and pulmonary embolism after surgery, and spontaneous abortion. Our 
      data suggest that it is reasonable to screen SCLE patients for these antibodies 
      to confirm the presence of the antiphospholipid syndrome.
