This is a case of 14/Male who came to casualty with bluish discoloration of finger and peripheries were cold that we couldn't even see spo2 values on monitor and He had H/O Fever, vomiting.
Then on examination of lymph nodes, he had cervical and inguinal lymph nodes enlargement. Day by day the bluish discoloration started worsening and he had developed petechiae on his heel and palms.
Inorder to check for the raynauds phenomenon, did control study with another 16 year old male. It was worsening and the only thing that 14 years boy wanted was to go to school and our team wanted to do everything to give him that.
So, FNAC was done but the report was inconclusive. Then planned for excisional biopsy of lymph nodes and on histopathology examination it was stated as reactive lymphadenitis of sinus histiocytosis type .
As days progressed the peripherals stared becoming gangrenous. So i/v/o cardiothoracic vasular surgeron patient was referred to higher centre.
It was so painful to see his parents, who cannot afford the expenses and at the same time they never gave up on him and in the higher centre they stated it as SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSIS WITH VASUCULITIS and prescribing necessary medication, he was discharged.
Then again he had fever of high grade, the other time when I looked at him, I remember his first time coming to hospital ,he was weak, sitting in a wheel chair and again started on medication in our hospital.
