Leukocytoclastic Vasculitis as a Rare Manifestation of Staphylococcal Osteomyelitis
Leukocytoclastic vasculitis (LCV), also known as small-vessel cutaneous vasculitis, is rarely seen in the setting of staphylococcal infection without bacteremia. Here, we present a case of LCV in a 61-year-old male with chronic staphylococcal osteomyelitis without any evidence of bacteremia. The ras...

Sumario: | Leukocytoclastic vasculitis (LCV), also known as small-vessel cutaneous vasculitis, is rarely seen in the setting of staphylococcal infection without bacteremia.

As seen in this case, local infection should be considered in the differential diagnosis of LCV even when there is no evidence of bacteremia. |
