Özet
Inherited and/or acquired thrombophilic defects can result in venous or arterial thrombosis. This case report describes arterial thrombotic episodes triggered by the ingestion of an aphrodisiac remedy containing cantharidin in a 46-year-old female patient later discovered to be heterozygous for prothrombin G20210A mutation and seropositive for anti-beta 2 glycoprotein-I (anti-beta 2-GPI) antibodies of IgA isotype.
