Dear Editor, A 39-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with a 2-week history of fever and an enlarged liver and spleen. Laboratory data revealed the presence of atypical lymphocytes in the blood and elevated serum transaminases (Table 1). Screening for viral infections showed previous Epstein–Barr virus infection. Acute primary cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection was diagnosed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (SIEMENS, Germany) and quantitative CMV DNA polymerase chain reaction tests. Routine tests of blood coagulation revealed prolongation of activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and elevated fibrinogen degradation product (FDP) and D-dimer levels. Subsequent examination of coagulation factor activities revealed normal activity of factors VIII (97%) and IX (88%) and slight reduced activity of factors XI (73%) and XII (41%). Tests for intrinsic coagulation factor inhibitors were negative. Mixing studies failed to correct APTT, indicating the presence of a circulating anticoagulant. The patient was positive for IgG anticardiolipin antibody (aCL) but was negative for anti-β2GPI, anti-phosphatidylserine–prothrombin, and IgM aCL antibodies. PTT in response to a lupus anticoagulant (LA)-sensitive APTT reagent (Roche Diagnostics, Tokyo, Japan) was prolonged (109.1 s; normal range,< 55.5 s). Dilute Russell's viper venom time screen/confirm ratio (LA test Gradipore; Medical and Biological Laboratories, Nagoya, Japan) was 1.44 (normal range,< 1.3). Therefore, LA was confirmed according to established guidelines for LA [1]. LA was also detected using our recently reported method based on an auxiliary reagent containing coagulation factors [2].The patient became afebrile 5 days later. No hemorrhagic or thrombotic episodes were observed. Prolongation of APTT and FDP and D-dimer levels gradually improved and returned to normal after 4 weeks. The results of a LA test completed at this time were negative, and mixing studies showed normal patterns.
