A Case of Methimazole Induced Leukocytoclastic Vasculitis

Year: 2005

Type: article

Abstract: Antineutrophilic cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis has been described frequently in patients treated with propylthiouracil (PTU). However, other antithyroid drugs, carbimazole and methimazole (MMI), rarely cause vasculitis. We report a case of MMI induced ANCA negative leukocytoclastic vasculitis.
