[Anticardiolipin antibodies in patients with Buerger's disease].
The aim of this study was to estimate the incidence of occurrence of anticardiolipin autoantibodies in patients with thromboangitis obliterans (TAO). Patients with Buerger's disease had statisticaverified significant higher frequency of anticardiolipin IgM antibodies than control group. This antibody may play a role in pathogenesis of TAO, although this results should be verified because of the small number of patients and diagnostic criteria.
