ABSTRACT
Summary@#Treatment of refractory cutaneous lupus is challenging. When conventional therapy, including hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), corticosteroids and immunosuppressants, has failed, the addition of quinacrine may be a promising option. We describe a case of refractory chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CCLE) who responded well to quinacrine.

ABSTRACT
A pregnant woman with antiphospholipid syndrome presented with repeated venous thromboembolism (VTE) in the first and second trimesters of pregnancy despite receiving combination therapy with low-molecular-weight heparin and aspirin. The addition of hydroxychloroquine prevented further VTE recurrence, thus demonstrating its potential antithrombotic effects.
