description | This is a case of systemic polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) in a 43-year-old male who initially presented to the hospital with a puzzling collection of signs and symptoms, including fever, arthralgias, myalgias, abdominal pain, dark urine, and rash. His illness evolved over the course of four weeks, and skin biopsy helped to clinch the diagnosis and lead to appropriate treatment. It is important to consider systemic PAN in the work-up of patients with subtle skin findings in the context of seemingly unrelated constitutional, abdominal, genitourinary, cardiac, and neurological signs and symptoms. |
