Summary

Hypersensitivity vasculitis from non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is rare. A woman developed vasculitis, neuropathy, and nephritis after naproxen, which resolved after stopping the drug and with steroid treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Dermatology
  • Nephrology

Background:

  • Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used globally.
  • Cutaneous reactions to NSAIDs, including hypersensitivity angiitis, are uncommon.
  • Few cases link naproxen to hypersensitivity angiitis.

Observation:

  • A 62-year-old woman presented with symptoms after a brief course of naproxen.
  • The patient developed leukocytoclastic skin vasculitis, peripheral neuropathy, and nephritis.

Findings:

  • The patient's symptoms gradually improved after discontinuing naproxen.
  • Glucocorticoid therapy contributed to the resolution of the condition.
  • This case highlights a reversible presentation of drug-induced hypersensitivity angiitis.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering NSAIDs in the differential diagnosis of vasculitis, neuropathy, and nephritis.
  • Early recognition and drug withdrawal are crucial for managing NSAID-induced hypersensitivity angiitis.
  • Further research into the mechanisms of NSAID-induced hypersensitivity is warranted.
