Nanjing First Hospital received two female patients,
Their fingers were frozen to pale, with a tingling sensation,
They all thought it was frostbite and didn't care,
When I went to the hospital for examination, I found that I was sick!
Ms. Li, a citizen of Nanjing, is prone to cold hands in the winter and often has frostbite, and after this examination at the hospital, she found that the blood picture was abnormal and was diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus.
Ms. Li said: "After getting up in the morning, ten fingers are white, shriveled, and it hurts, like a needle picking, and after a while, it will turn purple." I really don't think it's a disease, it turns out that the hands will also harm frostbite, I think it's hand freezing. ”
According to the doctor, Ms. Li's fingers turned white and purple after encountering cold, which is a typical Raynaud syndrome.

Chen Xingguo, chief physician of the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology of Nanjing First Hospital, said: "The peripheral fingers of patients with Raynaud's syndrome will appear whitish and purple, which will be aggravated in winter, because the ambient temperature is low, and the blood supply to the terminals is even more lacking. Unlike ordinary people who have cold hands after getting cold, it is difficult to recover after this chill. ”
Doctors remind that in the presence of Raynaud's syndrome, it is necessary to find out the cause and symptomatic treatment. Some are related to the patient's own vascular condition is not good, long-term smoking, nerve excitement, long-term engaging in vibrating mechanical work, etc., and some are caused by rheumatic immune diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjögren syndrome, scleroderma, etc., which are often accompanied by other symptoms.
Gu Bingjie, attending physician of the Department of Rheumatism and Immunology of Nanjing First Hospital, told reporters: "If there are repeated mouth ulcers, rashes, arthritis, dry mouth, and dry eyes, it may be considered to indicate that there is a possibility of rheumatic immune diseases, and you can come to the hospital for screening." ”
