Abstract
The case of a 45-year-old woman is described who developed transverse myelitis over a one-year period. Serological tests suggested a lupus-like illness. Antibodies to cardiolipin of the IgM class were detected in high titres in her serum. These may have played a part in the pathogenesis of her disease.Keywords
