FEBLES SANABRIA, Ridel Jesús et al. Eritromelalgia. Informe de un caso. []. , 42, 6, pp. 2674-2681.   31--2020. ISSN 1684-1824.

La eritromelalgia es una enfermedad rara, crónica, poco conocida, de difícil diagnóstico y tratamiento. Caracterizada por enrojecimiento, calor, dolor intenso y ardor en la parte distal de las extremidades. Afecta fundamentalmente manos, pies, nariz y orejas. El rubor, el dolor y el calor de las extremidades aumentan al exponerse a altas temperaturas, así como después de realizar ejercicio. Los síntomas suelen aliviarse mediante la inmersión de la extremidad afectada en agua fría. Se presenta un caso de una mujer de 33 años de edad, blanca, con afectación predominantemente en las manos. A través del interrogatorio minucioso y la realización de los exámenes complementarios realizados se concluyó que la variante etiológica que presentó la paciente era una eritromelalgia primaria o idiopática. Se impuso tratamiento con aspirina y nifedipino. La evolución clínica de la paciente fue favorable.

Erythromelalgia is a rare, chronic, little known disease, of difficult diagnosis and treatment. It is characterized by redness, heat, and intense pain and burning in the distal part of the extremities. It mainly affects hands, feet, nose and ears. The flushing, pain and warmth of the extremities increase when exposed to high temperatures as well as after exercise. The symptoms are usually relieved by immersing the affected limb in cold water. The authors present the case of a white, 33-years-old woman, with predominantly involved hand. Through a detailed interview and complementary tests they concluded that the etiological variant presented by the patient was a primary or idiopathic erythromelalgia. Treatment with aspirin and nifedipine was prescribed; the clinical progress of the patient was successful.
