There is a high association of reactive skin presentations, mainly limited cutaneous vasculitis in patients with cystic fibrosis and Burkholderia cepcia complex chronic infection. This may be due to raised levels of circulating inflammatory mediators.

Keywords: cystic fibrosis; dermatology; microbiology; pathology; respiratory medicine; rheumatology; vasculitis.
