Signs and symptoms

There are no unique indications or symptoms of UCTD; instead, UCTD exhibits clinical presentations similar to other CTDs.^[1] UCTD appears to have a modest clinical profile, characterized by the absence of major organ involvement.^[2] The most common clinical signs of UCTD include arthralgias, Raynaud's phenomenon, arthritis, leukopenia, xerostomia, anemia, xerophthalmia, thrombocytopenia, and photosensitivity rash.^[3]^[4]^[5]
