Estudio de reacciones cutáneas inducidas por la vitamina K

Abstract

La patología iatrogénica constituye en el momento actual una de las facetas más importantes de la dermatología. La vitamina K es un principio activo que se ha asociado a múltiples cuadros cutáneos adversos, que aunque son excepcionales, se han registrado repetidamente en la literatura. Adoptan un aspecto clínico, una morfología patológica y un curso pronóstico característico. En el presente artículo se realiza una revisión informatizada y manual desde los primeros casos documentados en el año 1972 hasta el 2011. Se han descrito cuadros típicamente anafilactoides y reacciones cutáneas retardadas, del tipo eczema y placas de esclerosis cutánea. La patogenia es controvertida, parece que el mecanismo más implicado es de tipo inmunológico, aunque presenta alguna peculiaridad. Recientemente el uso de vitamina K por vía tópica en productos cosméticos ha favorecido la aparición de nuevas reacciones cutáneas adversas y probablemente en un futuro aumentaran por la mayor exposición a este producto.

Iatrogenic pathology is one of the most important aspects of dermatology in these days. Vitamin K has been associated with adverse skin in multiple forms. These reactions are rare, but they occur repeatedly in the literature. They show a clinical aspect, a pathological morphology and characteristic prognosis course. In this article a computerized and manual revision is made since the first cases documented in 1972 until 2011. Anaphylactoid reactions, eczematous dermatitis and sclerosis plaques have been described. The pathogenesis is controversial. The mechanism involved seems to be immunological, although it has some peculiarities. Recently, the use of topical vitamin K in cosmetic products has encouraged the appearance of new adverse skin reactions which probably increase in the future by greater exposure to this product.
