Lupus anticoagulant--a double misnomer

Asian Pac J Allergy Immunol. 1987 Dec;5(2):161-5.

Abstract

The clinical features of thirteen Chinese patients with lupus anticoagulant were described. They were noted to conform to those reported among Caucasians and tend to suggest that the term 'lupus anticoagulant' is a double misnomer.
