Abstract

ABSTRACT A young South Asian woman presented four weeks post‐miscarriage with fever, jaundice, edema, headache, neurological deficits, anemia, thrombocytopenia, proteinuria, hematuria, splenic infarct, and cerebral venous sinus thrombosis. Positive beta‐2 glycoprotein IgG and lupus anticoagulant supported probable CAPS. Transfusions and plasmapheresis resulted in significant clinical improvement.
