Hey #MedTwitter fam!

Time for the inaugural #MedDermTwagTeam #tweetorial on #Scleroderma

This is a diffuse (get it?) topic so @RashDecisionz & I will try to keep it focused

I’ll tweet on illness script

S/O to @CPSolvers @MedEdTwagTeam and many others for the inspiration!

Who else gets confused with the terminology? I sure do

The confusion may arise because scleroderma is a spectrum of disorders. Also, people say Scleroderma interchangeably with #SystemicSclerosis

The subtype is based on extent of skin & organ involvement

Let’s focus on Systemic Sclerosis (SSc)

SSc is a multi-organ, progressive vasculopathy and fibrosing condition with skin being main target

Earliest sign is Raynaud phenomenon, occurs in 95% of pts

Skin thickening w/o Raynauds makes SSc unlikely
