  • Title: Granulomatous vasculitis as a complication of potassium iodide treatment for Sweet's syndrome.
    Author: Eeckhout E, Willemsen M, Deconinck A, Somers G.
    Journal: Acta Derm Venereol; 1987; 67(4):362-4. PubMed ID: 2445160.
    Abstract:
    A case of Sweet's syndrome treated with potassium iodide is hereby described. The patient responded well a few days after the initiation of therapy, but the evolution was complicated with a severe clinical deterioration two weeks later. Systemic vasculitis was diagnosed on the basis of significant impairment of renal function, involvement of the eyes (papillitis) and the skin biopsy which showed a leukocytoclastic vasculitis. This systemic vasculitis was attributed to the potassium iodide therapy.
