Abstract:
A pregnant woman with antiphospholipid syndrome
presented with repeated venous thromboembolism (VTE) in
the first and second trimesters of pregnancy despite
receiving combination therapy with low-molecular-weight
heparin and aspirin. The addition of hydroxychloroquine
prevented further VTE recurrence, thus demonstrating its
potential antithrombotic effects.
