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.
