ZULUAGA-QUINTERO, Mónica y CASTRO-PALACIO, Juan José. Blue toe syndrome as the first manifestation of pulmonary tuberculosis. Neumol. cir. torax [online]. 2018, vol.77, n.2, pp.148-150. ISSN 0028-3746.
The blue toe syndrome is an uncommon pathology of multifactorial origin that is associated with coldness and violaceous coloration due to hypoperfusion of the fingers. We describe the case of a 66 year old patient who presented coetaneous changes in the fingers of the upper left limb without signs that suggested vasculitis and a subsequent diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis. The symptoms resolved with tuberculosis therapy in the follow up did not present new blue toe syndrome episodes.
