We report a case of a 67-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis with yellow nail syndrome (YNS) that was caused by bucillamine. All three signs (yellow fingernails, lymphatic edema, and bronchiectasis) of YNS manifested, with characteristic timing, first with the nails turning yellow after when bronchiectasis was noticed. We reviewed 10 case reports from Japan and compared the periods until the appearance of yellow nails after starting bucillamine treatment, as well as those until lung disease and leg edema appeared.

My experience with Clinical Medicine Insights: Case Reports was excellent. The entire review process was fast and accurate. My previous experience with important top ranking journals was unpleasant mainly because the staff were slow and sometimes presumptuous. On the contrary, the editors of Libertas were helpful and prompt in responding to questions and issues related to the submission. I recommend the publisher to my colleagues.
