[Misdiagnosis: Raynaud's disease].
Within a few hours a patient developed necrosis of two finger tips. A provisional diagnosis of Raynaud's disease was made and an arteriogram was performed. This showed considerable hypervascularisation of the affected fingers. After 48 hours, the typical clinical picture of an acute infection became evident. The differential diagnosis and pathogenesis are discussed.
