Owing to the shared characteristics with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, similar rules are followed in the treatment of these cytopenias. Two patients with severe aPL associated cytopenias, who required splenectomy after being refractory to steroids, immunosuppressive agents, and other treatments (intravenous gammaglobulin, danazol), are described, and previously reported cases are reviewed.4 p.application/pdfeng(c) BMJ Publishing Group Ltd, 2000Malalties autoimmunitàriesSíndrome antifosfolipídicaMelsaCirurgia operatòriaEstudi de casosAutoimmune diseasesAntiphospholipid syndromeSpleenOperative surgeryCase studiesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article566241info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess11053074
