Abstract

Abstract: Venous thromboses have been associated with tuberculosis, but the relationship with circulating anticoagulant has not been studied yet. In a cohort of 48 patients with tuberculosis, 22.9% of them presented with venous thromboses significantly associated with dose dependent level of antiphosphophatidyl-ethanolamine antibodies.
