[Anticardiolipin antibodies--detection and diagnostic value].

: Anticardiolipin antibodies belong to a family of antibodies to phospholid and are important in pathogenesis of some diseases. Statistically significant high titer of circulating anticardiolipin antibodies were found in SLE patients, thromboembolic events, thrombocytopenia and recurrent fetal loss. We tested 53 sera of SLE patients to anticardiolipin antibodies by own modification of ELISA. Only two sera were positive, one of them was associated with recurrent fetal loss and disease. The incidence of anticardiolipin antibodies in we have found no correlation with the activity of to those reported in other studies. Our tested sera (4%) was much lower in comparison.
