  • Title: [Cutaneous leukocytoclastic vasculitis as a marker of systemic diseases].
    Author: Macotela-Ruiz E, Corona-Rodríguez MG.
    Journal: Gac Med Mex; 1991; 127(1):21-6. PubMed ID: 1959734.
    Abstract:
    Fifty-eight patients with cutaneous leukocytoclastic vasculitis were evaluated. The most frequent cutaneous manifestation was purpura, followed by palpable purpura. Vascular inflammation was confirmed by skin biopsy: two distinct patterns of cellular infiltrate were found, a neutrophilic-predominant and a mononuclear-predominant type, as a manifestation of the dynamic evolution of the process. On the basis of the associated disease we grouped our cases as follows: autoimmune disease, reaction, malignancy, infection and idiopathic.
