Our objective was to determine whether there is a relationship between low antiphospholipid (aPL) antibody levels and the obstetrical complications of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and to analyze the impact of conventional APS treatment in patients with low aPL levels. To this end, we retrospectively reviewed the files of all patients referred to our unit (2003-2010) for unexplained pregnancy morbidity, with an aPL test result. We compared patients with APS confirmed by Sapporo criteria (Group 1) with patients with APS-like obstetrical complications with an aPL titer below the intermediate titer (Group 2). Overall, 57 patients were included (25 in Group 1:32 in Group 2). Obstetrical events were recurrent spontaneous abortion
