Dermatological manifestations of antiphospholipid syndrome

Garcia, 2018

The most common skin manifestations of antiphospholipid syndrome include:

  • livedo reticularis1—often precedes the diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome
  • livedoid vasculopathy—recurrent, painful skin ulcerations
  • subungual splinter haemorrhages.
1 Livedo reticularis is a mottled, reticulated vascular pattern on the skin; a lace-like purplish discoloration.Return
