Erythromelalgia induced by nicardipine (inverse Raynaud's phenomenon?).

Coexistence of erythromelalgia and Raynaud's phenomenon.

Erythromelalgia is characterized by spontaneous recurrent episodes of redness, heat, and pain of the extremities that can be triggered or worsened by heat. Raynaud's phenomenon occurs in response to cold exposure and presents as pallor of the fingers or toes, often followed by cyanosis and rubor. Although the 2 conditions may appear to be opposites in symptomatology and clinical presentation, t...

Serotonin reuptake inhibitors, Raynaud's phenomenon and erythromelalgia.

(Letter to the Editor) SIR, We read with great interest the report by Coleiro et al. [1] describing a pilot study on the tolerability and efficiency of fluoxetine for the treatment of Raynaud's phenomenon. This study confirmed previous case reports suggesting the usefulness of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) in the management of Raynaud's phenomenon [2, 3]. Here we describe for ...

Temperature-associated vascular disorders: Raynaud’s phenomenon and erythromelalgia

Superficially, Raynaud's phenomenon, a disease associated with cold, and erythromelalgia, a warmth related disorder, could be considered the antithesis of each other. However, both these microcirculatory disorders, first described in the second half of the nineteenth century, have many features in common and, indeed, may share the same etiology, that is microvascular ischemia. The complicated s...

Erythromelalgia induced by possible calcium channel blockade by ciclosporin.

because tuberculosis may be suspected and investigated more readily among men or black or Asian people. Our study was limited by the amount of missing surveillance data. It was also impossible to determine the relative contribution of patient and healthcare provider to the total delay. Potential confounders—for example, coinfection with HIV or the accuracy of the data among patients whose first...
