Female patients in reproductive age with systemic lupus erythematosus and fertility complications together are observed by rheumatologists, gynecologists, and reproductive immunologists. The paper notes the presence of autoantibodies to zona pellucida, to phospholipids (phosphatidyl serine, phosphatidyl ethanolamine, phosphatidyl inositol, phosphatidyl glycerol, phosphatidic acid, annexin V, beta-2 glycoprotein I, and cardiolipin) and of isoantibodies to sperm cells. Isoantibodies to sperm cells are not significantly predominant, but autoimmunity is well expressed in IgG positivity against phosphatidyl inositol, phosphatidyl ethanolamine, phosphatidyl serine, cardiolipin, and beta-2 glycoprotein I, as well as antizona pellucida antibodies in IgG isotype. According to the levels of autoantibodies we have to choose preventive treatment to protect mother and her foetus.

Antiphospholipid syndrome is an autoimmune disorder defined as association of vascular thrombosis and/or pregnancy complications with presence of antiphospholipid antibodies (lupus anticoagulant, anticardiolipin and anti-β2 glycoprotein I). It is the most common cause of acquired thrombophilia, and can occur as an independent entity or in relation with other diseases, especially systemic lupus erythematosus. Presence of antiphospholipid syndrome in systemic lupus erythematosus is additional vaso occlusive factor in already present inflammation, bringing further risk for thrombotic events. Clinical and serological manifestations of antiphospholipid syndrome and systemic lupus erythematosus are very similar, so possible connection for these two autoimmune disorders is assumed.

Antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL): lupus anticoagulant (LA), anticardiolipin antibodies (aCL) and anti-β2-glycoprotein I antibodies (anti-β2GPI) are found in 12 to 44% of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients. On average, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) develops in50% of aPL-positive patients with SLE. The seronegative APS is characterized by the absence of the diagnostic levels of "classical" aPL and by the presence of non-criteria aPL: antibodies against pro- thrombin (aPT), antibodies against annexin V, antibodies against phosphatidylethanoamine (aPE), antibodies to phosphatidylserine/prothrombin complex (aPS-PT) and antibodies against negatively charged phospholipids. The presence of four antibodies (LA + aCT + anti-β2GPI + aPT) is associated with a threefold increase in the risk of thrombosis. The presence of aCL and anti-β2GPI in SLE patients with APS and recurrent thromboses is associated with the HLA dRB1 * 0402.
