Cutaneous Leukocytoclastic Casculitis Associated with Levofloxacin Therapy
Copyright policy )Cutaneous Leukocytoclastic Casculitis Associated with Levofloxacin Therapy
Many cases of cutaneous vasculitis are druginduced 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 fluoroquinolone levofloxacin. Recognition of fluoroquinoloneinduced cutaneous vasculitis is important as continuation or re-exposure of the offending agent may have life-threatening consequences.
