Our study was performed to explore the relation between autoimmunity (CU) and the levels of plasma prothrombin F1+2. Thirty four (CU) patients with positive autologous serum skin test (APST) their F1+2 were measured by ELISA at pre and post therapy. The levels of F1+2 in autoimmunity (CU) patients have been decreased obviously after treatment (3.34±2.87vs 0.94±0.58, p
