We read the report by Pappas et al (1) and the subsequent comments by Hughes et a1 (2) with much interest. We observed a 14-year-old girl referred for a deep vein thrombosis of the right leg in July 1979. A VDRL test for syphilis gave a false-positive result. Circulating anticoagulant with antiprothrombinase activity was detected. There were neither antinuclear antibodies nor lupus erythematosus cells present. In December 1979, hemolytic anemia was diagnosed on the basis of nonconjugated hyperbilirubihemia and a low serum haptoglobin level. Results of a Coombs’ test were negative.In October 1981, the patient was readmitted for generalized seizures. On admission, headache, weakness, and stupor-like unconsciousness were present. Physical ex-amination showed oligoarthritis of the right ankle and both wrists, a vespertilio-like erythematous edema, chondritis of the ears, and livedo-like skin lesions on her palms and the soles of her feet. Blood pressure was 2101120 mm Hg. Ophthalmoscopic findings were normal, but a computerized tomography scan revealed cerebral edema. Her blood cell count values were normal; erythrocyte sedimentation rate was 92 mdhour (Westergren) and serum fibrinogen value was 9 gmiliter. Antinuclear antibodies were 45 unitdm1 using the Farr technique (normal zyxwvutsrqponmlkjih< 25 units/ml).
