To determine the possible association between antiprothrombin antibodies and conventional antiphospholipid antibody (aPL) 1 (1.0%), 2 (2.0%) and 17 (17.0%) were found to be positive for phosphatidylserine-dependent antiprothrombin antibody (aPS/PT) IgG, beta2glycoprotein I-dependent anticardiolipin antibody, and lupus anticoagulant by activated partial thromboplastin time (LA), respectively, in 100 recurrent aborters. Because patients with aPS/PT were included in the 17 with LA, we should not add aPS/PT measurement to routine testing in addition to conventional aPL for patients with recurrent miscarriage.
