Based on the patient's medical history and all the examination results, it was possible to make a diagnosis of primary APS and, starting from diagnosis of thrombocytopenia, we were allowed to conclude that all of manifestation were epi-phenomena of a unique clinical entity, rather than unrelated diseases.

The lack of prevention in undiagnosed patients may cause severe complications which can in turn result in the death of those patients.
