RESUMEN
El síndrome de dedos azules o fenómeno de acrocianosis, descrito en la literatura, se presenta secundario a una alteración en la vasculatura periférica que puede obedecer a fenómenos inflamatorios o vasculopatías oclusivas, de etiología infecciosa (directa o inmunológica por inmunocomplejos) así como no infecciosa (trastornos de la coagulación, enfermedades autoinmunes primarias o secundarias). Se presenta el caso de un paciente con acrocianosis secundaria a síndrome antifosfolipídico cuya etiología fue la infección por sífilis. El diagnóstico y tratamiento oportuno tuvo un desenlace favorable sin secuelas discapacitantes para el paciente.
ABSTRACT
Blue toe syndrome or acrocyanosis phenomenon have been previously described in the literature; it is secondary to peripheral vasculature dysfunction due to inflammation or occlusive vasculopathies which can also be secondary to infectious etiologies (directly or immunologically by immunocomplexes) and non infectious etiologies (coagulation disorders, primary or secondary autoimmune diseases). We report the case of a patient with acrocyanosis secondary to antiphospholipidic syndrome which etiology was syphilis. Prompt diagnose and treatment had a favorable outcome without dysfunctional consequences.
