Abstract
This is the first known case report of COVID-19-related Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) identified at routine health surveillance of a male exposed to hand-transmitted vibration. The temporal relationship with COVID infection followed the course previously reported, being a late feature associated with mild COVID, and followed by gradual spontaneous recovery. It is not known whether the RP, in this case, is solely due to COVID or represents a summative effect of COVID and vibration exposure. A prudent approach is recommended in such circumstances with limitation of vibration exposure and continuing frequent surveillance pending improvement of the RP, with further prompt investigation if the expected recovery does not occur.
期刊介绍：
Occupational Medicine is an international peer-reviewed journal which provides vital information for the promotion of workplace health and safety. The key strategic aims of the journal are to improve the practice of occupational health professionals through continuing education and to raise the profile of occupational health with key stakeholders including policy makers and representatives of employers and employees.
Topics covered include work-related injury and illness, accident and illness prevention, health promotion, occupational disease, health education, the establishment and implementation of health and safety standards, monitoring of the work environment, and the management of recognized hazards. Contributions are welcomed from practising occupational health professionals and research workers in related fields.
