Abstract

The article in Clinical & Experimental Dermatology discusses a case of an 84-year-old Greek woman who developed hydralazine-induced antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis, presenting with mucosal dominant symptoms such as ulcerated plaques, mucositis, and cicatricial ectropion. The patient had a history of chronic kidney disease, diabetes, and hypertension managed with multiple medications. Treatment involved discontinuing hydralazine, administering rituximab and prednisone, resulting in resolution of mucocutaneous lesions. The article highlights the importance of considering systemic vasculitis in patients with cutaneous symptoms and emphasizes the need for prompt recognition and appropriate management of drug-induced vasculitis.
