Abstract
Raynauds phenomenon (RP) can be the first symptom of a connective tissue disease in children, in particular juvenile systemic scleroderma (JSSC) or systemic lupus erythematosis (SLE). However, the prevalence of RP in healthy school children has been shown to be as high as 15%[1]. There are currently no guidelines or agreed management strategies amongst Paediatric Rheumatologists on how to differentiate primary from secondary RP or how often patients require evaluation.
