title: [The clinical syndrome associated with antiphospholipid antibodies. A diagnosis to be confirmed after a long follow-up].
abstract: A clinical case of syndrome of antiphospholipid antibodies is reported. The patient is a 10-year-old girl with thrombophlebitis of the right leg associated with the presence of lupus-like anticoagulant antibodies. No secondary pathologies were found. It is not possible, anyway, to make a definitive differential diagnosis between primary and secondary forms of syndrome of antiphospholipid antibodies because of intermediate situations where antiphospholipid antibodies are associated with 2 or 3 ARA criteria for the diagnosis of lupus (lupus-like syndrome). A long term follow-up is therefore necessary.
