Two months before the swelling began, he underwent a release of “trigger finger” of the third finger.

The patient noted that a considerable amount of sea water had entered his wound during each dive.Upon examination, his hand looked edematous, with a red‐purplish hue. Discrete, somewhat tender, nodules were noted over the involved finger (Figure 1). Temperature at presentation was 36°C. The white cell count was 8,240/ μ L, with a normal differential. C‐reactive protein was …" @default.
