ABSTRACT
Antiphospholipid syndrome is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies in association with thrombosis and/or obstetric complications. APS is also be presented with multiple organ involvement. We recently encountered a case of primary phospholipid syndrome in a young adult with newly diagnosed pulmonary embolism, immune thrombocytopenia and deep vein thrombosis of left leg. The diagnosis of APS was initially suspected with his prolonged APTT and elevated D-Dimmer values and later confirmed by triple positive antiphospholipid antibody profile and multiple organ involvement
Keywords: Antiphospholipid syndrome, Thrombosis, Autoimmune disease.
