Leukocytoclastic vasculitis associated with endocarditis in a patient with transposition of the great arteries and mechanical valve replacement
C Riehle, GM Scharf, JT Sieweke, F Zauner… - Cardiovascular …, 2017 - Elsevier
Immunological vascular phenomena can be the initial manifestation of bacterial infection
and endocarditis. Here, we report a rare case of leukocytoclastic vasculitis without immune
complexes or cryoglobulinemia in a patient with infective endocarditis, congenital heart
disease, and a prior mechanical valve replacement. The patient completely recovered
following antibiotic therapy, and skin lesions disappeared without immune suppression,
which suggested infection-mediated vasculitis. While the treatment of leukocytoclastic …
