Coronavirus disease 2019 and catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome: Case report
CAPS in patients with COVID-19 is an extremely serious disease with a high mortality rate. A delay in diagnosis and treatment can result in potentially devastating consequences. Therefore, physicians should be alert to the possibility of CAPS in patients with multiple thrombi and COVID-19. Furthermore, this case serves as a foundation upon which future studies can build to investigate the possible mechanisms of IgA anti-β2GPI-positive CAPS in patients with COVID-19, which may guide the exploration of potential therapeutic strategies to prevent the disease's progression.
