    This study reports a case of drug-induced lupus syndrome caused by Peroben. A provocation test revealed immune complex formation and vessel wall deposits, leading to vasculitis and thrombosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Rheumatology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Immune complex diseases can be triggered by various external factors, including medications.
    • Drug-induced lupus erythematosus (DILE) is a specific type of autoimmune condition mimicking systemic lupus erythematosus.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with clinical and biological signs consistent with drug-induced lupus syndrome.
    • The patient's condition was associated with the intake of Peroben, a medication not previously linked to such effects.

    Findings:

    • A provocation test confirmed Peroben as the causative agent, demonstrating a transient increase in C1q binding activity during drug intake.
    • Histopathological examination revealed immunoglobulin M (IgM) and complement component 3 (C3) deposits in vessel walls.

  • The patient experienced leukocytoclastic vasculitis and thrombosis, indicating severe immune-mediated vascular damage.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights Peroben as a potential inducer of immune complex-mediated disease and lupus-like syndrome.
    • Understanding the pathomechanism is crucial for diagnosing and managing similar drug-induced autoimmune conditions.
    • The findings emphasize the importance of considering medication history in patients presenting with unexplained vasculitis and thrombosis.
