Abstract EN
We report the case of a 38-year-old female patient with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and Jaccoud arthritis (JA) that sequentially developed digital ischemic lesions of the hands.
In spite of follow-up treatment with glucocorticoids, immunosuppressant, antiaggregant, and potent vasodilatator agents, a serious progression to digital gangrene over a one-month period was observed.
Surprisingly, her nonhealing digital lesions improved after two cycles of rituximab (RTX) administration.
