• TITLE: Raynaud’s Phenomenon in a Patient with a High Eosinophil Count and Hypocomplementemia. A Case Report and Literature Review

  AUTHORS: Ahmad Al-Shami, Naser Al Hadhood

  KEYWORDS: Systemic Sclerosis, Eosinophilia, Hypocomplementemia

  JOURNAL NAME: Open Journal of Rheumatology and Autoimmune Diseases, Vol.12 No.1, February 28, 2022

  ABSTRACT: This report describes clinical findings of a 28-year old female patient presented with non-healing digit ulcer and Raynaud’s phenomenon. Upon investigation was found to have high eosinophil count alongside hypocomplementemia. This patient was diagnosed with diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis and was started on therapy; her other laboratory findings were attributed to a coinciding helminthic infection. This case suggests the possibility of having two different diagnoses presenting at once causing a clinical dilemma.
