We reported a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus complicated by Raynaud's phenomenon. She was also a case of diabetes mellitus, antiphospholipid syndrome and chronic hepatitis C infection. Skin biopsy of a fingertip revealed leukocytoclastic vasculitis. Hence vasculitis induced Raynaud's phenomenon was suspected. She received the following treatment-- nifedipine, intravenous heparin, large amount of prednisolone (60~100 mg.q.d.), pulse cyclophosphamide, plasma exchange, prostaglandin E1 azathioprine (100 mg q.d,), pulse steroid and triiodothyronine. But these drugs were not effective. Gangrenous change of her fingers and toes were the final results. She refused to receive surgical intervention and autoamputation of her digits was the final result. |
