Acute myeloblastic leukemia in a patient with primary antiphospholipid syndrome.

Antiphospholipid syndrome is characterized by venous and arterial thrombosis, recurrent pregnancy loss and the presence of the lupus anticoagulant, anticardiolipin antibodies or both. Antiphospholipid syndrome may occur as a primary disease or in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus or other autoimmune, infectious or neoplastic disorders. In this paper we report a 29-year-old Saudi female, a known case of antiphospholipid syndrome, presented with complaints of fever, breathlessness and generalized fatigue.
