Leukocytoclastic vasculitis as a cutaneous manifestation of systemic infection caused by Brucella melitensis

E Nagore et al. Cutis. 1999 Jan.

Abstract

A 22-year-old man with leukocytoclastic vasculitis as a cutaneous manifestation of brucellosis is presented. Skin lesions resolved 48 hours after starting treatment with tetracycline and rifampicin. Although skin manifestations are rarely associated with infection due to Brucella and do not seem to worsen the prognosis, they may cause the patient to seek medical attention as well as contribute to the diagnosis.
