Abstract
- Yellow nail syndrome (YNS) is a rare, acquired condition, characterised by at least two of the three clinical criteria: nail changes, respiratory tract disease and lymphoedema. Currently, the aetiology of YNS remains unknown; however, it is believed to be caused by impaired lymphatic drainage. Currently, there remain no definitive treatment options available and no prospective trials evaluating this. Management includes supportive care and symptomatic treatment. The presence of YNS has been described alongside various conditions, including autoimmune diseases, malignancies and drug exposures. To strengthen the literature on this topic, we present the case of a female patient with a history of anti-SSA and anti-SSB positive primary Sjögren's syndrome, who developed YNS in the immediate postpartum period.<br />Competing Interests: Competing interests: None declared.<br /> (© BMJ Publishing Group Limited 2024.
