    Author: Sharma P, Sharma E, Neupane SP, Dahal S, Dahal S.
    Journal: J Investig Med High Impact Case Rep; 2018; 6():2324709618820873. PubMed ID: 30622993.
    Abstract:
    Vancomycin causes different types of hypersensitivity reactions, ranging from localized skin reactions to generalized cardiovascular collapse. However, cases of vancomycin-induced leukocytoclastic vasculitis are rare. In this article, we present a case where the patient developed palpable purpura on his bilateral lower limbs following treatment with vancomycin. He was diagnosed with vancomycin-induced leukocytoclastic vasculitis that resolved without sequelae after withdrawal of vancomycin.
