Title: Leukocytoclastic angiitis in subacute bacterial endocarditis. Author: Rubenfeld S, Min KW. Journal: Arch Dermatol; 1977 Aug; 113(8):1073-4. PubMed ID: 142449. Abstract: The case of a patient who had palpable purpura on his lower extremities due to Lactobacillus-caused subacute bacterial endocarditis is reported. Histologic examination of the purpuric lesions demonstrated a leukocytoclastic angiitis. It is postulated that purpuric and other cutaneous lesions of subacute bacterial endocarditis are related to circulating immune complexes.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
