 In the New England Journal of Medicine, physicians note that antiphospholipid antibodies can occur in critically ill patients, and they “may rarely lead to thrombotic events that are difficult to differentiate from other causes of multifocal thrombosis.”

An older man in China with a history of hypertension, diabetes, and stroke was diagnosed with COVID-19 that ultimately required invasive mechanical ventilation. Testing revealed coagulopathy, antiphospholipid antibodies, and cerebral infarcts in multiple vascular territories. Two other patients in the ICU had similar findings.
