Abstract:
A patient with intermittent erythema developed urticaria and a systemic illness associated with the development of disseminated intravascular coagulation and a widespread bullous eruption. A skin biopsy showed intravascular fibrin and epidermal necrosis with no evidence of vasculitis. The patient made a complete recovery following therapy with fresh frozen plasma and platelets and pulsed intravenous methylprednisolone.
