One patient affected by systemic lupus erythematosus with recurrent phlebothrombosis and peripheral neuropathy is described. False positive VDRL test, anticardiolipin antibodies, and high titres of antinuclear antibodies were present. Circulating immune complexes were not found. The effect of plasma exchange on clinical symptoms and on serological abnormalities was rapid and striking.

Abstract
One patient affected by systemic lupus erythematosus with recurrent phlebothrombosis and peripheral neuropathy is described. False positive VDRL test, anticardiolipin antibodies, and high titres of antinuclear antibodies were present. Circulating immune complexes were not found. The effect of plasma exchange on clinical symptoms and on serological abnormalities was rapid and striking.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
