Resumen
Introducción: El síndrome es una entidad caracterizada por trombosis y abortos recurrentes, asociada a títulos altos de anticuerpos antifosfolipídicos. Estos pueden surgir de manera transitoria en pacientes con enfermedad crítica e infecciones, incluyendo la COVID-19. Objetivos: Determinar los niveles de anticuerpos antifosfolipídicos y su asociación con parámetros de laboratorio en pacientes internados con diagnóstico de COVID-19. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó en el Nuevo Hospital San Roque un estudio analítico, prospectivo, correlacional y transversal de pacientes de género masculino y femenino mayores de 18 años, internados con diagnóstico de COVID-19 entre agosto de 2021 y agosto de 2022. Los niveles de anticuerpos antifosfolipídicos se determinaron con un kit comercial. Resultados: Para IgM anticardiolipinas, no se observaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre los pacientes control y caso, pero sí, para IgM anti-β2-glicoproteína-I e IgG anticardiolipinas y anti-β2-glicoproteína-I. En cuanto al análisis de los anticuerpos antifosfolipídicos “no-criterio”, se observaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas con respecto a IgM e IgG anticardiolipinas e IgM anti-β2-glicoproteína-I, pero no, para IgG anti-β2-glicoproteína-I. Al analizar el comportamiento a distintos intervalos de tiempo, se observaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas para IgM anticardiolipinas e IgM anti-β2-glicoproteína-I. Conclusiones: Los pacientes con COVID-19 presentan mayores niveles de anticuerpos antifosfolipídicos respecto de pacientes sin la afección.
