    Author: Lee HJ, Shin DH, Choi JS, Kim KH.
    Journal: J Korean Med Sci; 2012 Dec; 27(12):1601-3. PubMed ID: 23255867.
    Abstract:
    Leukocytoclastic vasculitis (LCV) usually presents palpable purpura characterized by inflammation of vessel walls and fragmentation of nuclei. Various conditions can cause LCV, and it can be induced by influenza A virus infection. We report a 2-yr-old Korean girl who presented palpable purpuric and hemorrhagic lesions with fever. She was diagnosed as LCV by skin biopsy, and influenza A virus was isolated from nasopharyngeal swab. She was treated with oseltamivir (Tamiflu®) and prednisolone with dramatic effect of vasculitis and fever.
