Popis: Catastrophic anti phospholipid syndrome or CAPS for short, is a rare, devastating form of antiphospholipid syndrome that is characterized by successive multiple thrombi and multiorgan failure. One of the complications of antiphospholipid syndrome is nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis or marantic endocarditis. Due to the nonspecific presentation of multiorgan failure it is difficult to have an early diagnosis.
