Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-positive cutaneous leukocytoclastic vasculitis associated with propylthiouracil therapy.
A dministration of propylthiouracil therapy has been associated with a hypersensitivity syndrome that typically manifests as vasculitis. Most cases of propylthiouracil therapy– induced antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) positivity react to perinuclear ANCA (p-ANCA). We describe a patient who presented with cutaneous manifestations of propylthiouracil therapy hypersensitivity vasculitis ...
متن کاملCutaneous leukocytoclastic vasculitis associated with levofloxacin therapy
Many cases of cutaneous vasculitis are drug-induced with histology revealing leukocytoclastic vasculitis (LCV). We present a case of levofloxacin-associated LCV successfully treated with prednisone and cessation of the offending drug. Although case reports describe a link between LCV and older fluoroquinolones, such as ciprofloxacin and ofloxacin, recent reports have implicated the newer fluoro...
متن کاملCutaneous leukocytoclastic vasculitis with positive anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies.
Sir, Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) are useful diagnostic serological markers for systemic vasculitides. W|th indirect immuno£uorescence, two distinct patterns are seen: a coarse granular, centrally accentuated cytoplasmic staining (c-ANCA) and a perinuclear staining (p-ANCA) on ethanol¢xed neutrophil cytocentrifuge preparations (1). c-ANCA is considered highly speci¢c for Wegene...
متن کاملPropylthiouracil-induced alveolar haemorrhage associated with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody.
Propylthiouracil (PTU) is known to cause vasculitis as a rare complication. We report the case of a patient who developed alveolar haemorrhage and haematuria whilst treated with PTU. The serum was positive for antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) with myeloperoxidase (MPO) specificity (MPO-ANCA). All symptoms resolved completely after discontinuation of PTU. Alveolar haemorrhage or pulmon...
متن کاملEpitope analysis of anti-myeloperoxidase antibodies in propylthiouracil-induced antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis
INTRODUCTION Increasing evidence has suggested that linear epitopes of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) directed to myeloperoxidase (MPO) might provide clues to the pathogenesis of propylthiouracil (PTU)-induced ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV). This study mapped epitopes of MPO-ANCA in sera from patients with PTU-induced MPO-ANCA (with or without vasculitis) and primary AAV, aiming t...
