A Case Report on Raynaud’s Phenomenon with High Eosinophil Count and Hypocomplementemia

Abstract

The present case report describe about Raynaud’s Phenomenon with High Eosinophil Count and Hypocomplementemia. The study carried out with a28-year old female patient presented with non-healing digit ulcer and Raynaud’s phenomenon. Upon investigation was found to have high eosinophil count alongside hypocomple- mentemia. This woman was identified with diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis and started on treatment; her other lab abnormalities were due to a concurrent helminthic infection. Renal causes including Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis and Post-Infectious Glomerulonephritis. Rheumatological causes such as SLE, Cryoglobulinemia, Vasculitis (Polyarteritis Nodosa, Urticarial Vasculitis), and rarely Rheumatoid vasculitis. This patient is most likely to have the hypocom- plementemia in the context of her helminthic infection. This case suggests the possibility of having two different diagnoses presenting at once causing a clinical di- lemma.
