Abstract
An increased bleeding time and a prolonged APTT (activated partial thromboplastin time) observed in a 48-year-old woman led to the discovery of SLE confirmed by immunological tests. Platelet function and analysis of membrane glycoproteins revealed an isolated impaired collagen induced platelet aggregation and allowed the detection of autoantibodies directed against GpIa/IIa and GpIb/IX.
