Abstract
- Leukocytoclastic vasculitis (LCV) may be secondary to drugs, underlying infection, collagen vascular disorders, or malignancy. Drug-induced vasculitis contributes to 10% of vasculitic skin lesions cases usually developing within 7-21 days of treatment initiation. The present case highlights a report of LCV in a 59-year-old male with a history of paranoid schizophrenia on clozapine therapy. The report upsurges the need to promote awareness and expedite diagnosis and treatment of drug-induced LCVs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
