Dermatologica
|January 1, 1981
Abstract:
A 44-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis and vasculitis of the skin developed a lupus erythematosus-like reaction after 5 weeks of D-penicillamine therapy. The diagnosis was established on the clinical and histological picture, immunofluorescence studies and serological investigations. The reaction faded upon cessation of the drug.
