title: Clinical diversity of Raynaud's phenomenon in childhood: report of six cases.
abstract: Six pediatric patients with Raynaud's phenomenon are reported. Three patients had clinical and immunological evidence for a connective tissue disease; one had primary Raynaud's phenomenon associated with antinuclear antibodies and two had Raynaud's phenomenon secondary to exposure to lead and to a vibrating instrument, respectively. The diagnostic and therapeutic implications of these observations will be discussed.
