Abstract

Raynaud’s phenomenon (RP) is a common medical condition with prevalence in the population about 3–5%. RP is subdivided into primary form manifesting mainly in children and adolescents, and secondary RP affecting elder patients. Secondary RP is frequently associated with systemic rheumatic disorders, endocrine and hematological diseases and certain infections. It also may be due to exogenous factors. Thus, RP is an actual problem in the practice of rheumatologists, pediatric physicians, infectious diseases specialists, hematologists and other medical practitioners. This clinical lecture discusses in detail current approaches to diagnosis and differential diagnosis of RP.
