AbstractLeukocytoclastic vasculitis (LCV), a disease characterized by inflammation of the small vessels, presents with palpable purpura, especially in the lower extremities. Its etiology is known to include drugs, infection, collagen tissue disease, and malignancy, but LCV caused by anti‐tuberculosis drugs is very rarely seen. This report describes the

Different pathways leading to cutaneous leukocytoclastic vasculitis in mice

Experimental Dermatology, 2001
Abstract: To investigate the pathomechanisms of leukocytoclastic vasculitis (LcV) we compared mouse models of LcV with non‐vasculitic irritant contact dermatitis (ICD). Criteria for LcV as met by the immune complex‐mediated Arthus reaction (Art‐r) were also fulfilled by the localized Shwartzman reaction (Shw‐r) and by cutaneous Loxoscelism (Lox ...

IgA class anticardiolipin antibodies in cutaneous leukocytoclastic vasculitis

Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 1996
Autoantibodies may be detected in the serum of some patients with cutaneous leukocytoclastic vasculitis. We have previously reported the presence of IgA anticardiolipin antibodies (ACAs) in one patient with leukocytoclastic vasculitis associated with IgA nephropathy.Our purpose was to determine the prevalence of IgA ACAs in unselected groups of ...

Therapy of leukocytoclastic (necrotizing) cutaneous vasculitis

Dermatologic Therapy, 2001
: There are multiple therapeutic options for cutaneous necrotizing vasculitis. The choice of the proper therapy is made more difficult by a variety of competing classification systems, and by a paucity of adequate clinical trials to assess efficacy of the most commonly used therapies. This article outlines an approach to therapy based on the diagnosis,
