Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has rarely been reported among African blacks. However, recent reports may indicate otherwise. Digital gangrene in lupus patients has been reported in different populations and has mostly been seen in patients with long-standing lupus. Digital gangrene as the initial presentation of SLE has rarely been reported, even among African blacks. Two cases of digital gangrene as the initial presentation in Nigerian lupus patients are hereby presented. The medical and surgical managements, as well as relevant literature are hereby discussed. |
