Acne fulminans is the most severe form of inflammatory acne characterized by the acute onset of inflammatory nodules and plaques, most commonly on the chest and the back. The lesions undergo rapid suppuration, leaving ragged hemorrhagic ulcers. Typically, it affects adolescent males with a history of mild to moderate acne. The affected patients often have constitutional symptoms such as fever, malaise, arthralgias, and myalgias. Leukocytosis is commonly associated. Sacroiliitis is reported in 21% of acne fulminans patients in association with arthritis and in a few cases it is reported during isotretinoin treatment, suggesting the drug triggering.
We report a case of a young male patient in whom the induction of acne fulminans by systemic isotretinoin was associated with unilateral sacroiliitis.

我们报告了一例年轻男性患者,全身性异维 A 酸诱导的暴发性痤疮与单侧骶髂关节炎有关。
