Abstract:
The case history is presented of a patient who developed a cutaneous leukocytoclastic vasculitis after he had been treated with intravenous streptokinase because of an acute myocardial infarction. Leukocytoclastic vasculitis is a seldom reported side effect of streptokinase and may be caused by a type III-hypersensitivity reaction.
