Finger gangrene: an unusual presentation of leprosy

We report a case of 16 years old male presented with history of fever of unknown origin followed by peripheral digital gangrene. Careful skin examination showed a hypopigmented anesthetic patch. Further investigations showed antiphospholipid syndrome positivity. What’s the link between both diagnoses?.
