Characteristics of the thrombohemorrhagic syndrome in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus

: The authors analyzed data of the clinical picture and autopsy results in 26 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. During life hemorrhagic complications were revealed in 19% of patients, thrombotic--in 12%, while pathoanatomically they were found correspondingly in 46% and 27% of cases. In 15% of cases thromboses and hemorrhages were registered simultaneously. An interrelationship was noted between the activity of the disease and frequency of hemorrhagic complications as well as between the duration of the disease and quantity of thrombotic complications.
