Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Sports Medicine
  • Internal Medicine

Background:

  • Exercise-induced vasculitis (EIV) is an underrecognized condition.
  • It primarily affects long-distance runners and females after walking in hot weather.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define and describe exercise-induced vasculitis.
  • To present original cases of this clinical entity.

Main Methods:

  • Case series of 23 patients (22 female, 1 male) with EIV.
  • Clinical observation of lesion presentation, symptoms, and triggers.
  • Histopathological analysis of biopsies (leucocytoclastic and urticarial vasculitis).
  • Exclusion of other causes through blood tests and venous assessments.

Main Results:

  • EIV presented as erythematous, urticarial, or purpuric plaques on lower legs.
  • Symptoms included itching, pain, and burning; lesions resolved within days.
  • Relapses occurred with further exercise and were sometimes prevented by compression hosiery, lymphatic drainage, or medication.

Conclusions:

  • The author proposes the term exercise-induced vasculitis for this distinct clinical entity.
  • Despite being poorly recognized, the 23 presented cases confirm the reality of EIV.
