Many cases of cutaneous vasculitis are drug-induced with histology revealing leukocytoclastic vasculitis (LCV). We present a case of levofloxacin-associated LCV successfully treated with prednisone and cessation of the offending drug. Although case reports describe a link between LCV and older fluoroquinolones, such as ciprofloxacin and ofloxacin, recent reports have implicated the newer fluoroquinolone levofloxacin. Recognition of fluoroquinolone-induced cutaneous vasculitis is important as continuation or re-exposure of the offending agent may have life-threatening consequences.
许多皮肤血管炎病例是药物诱发的，组织学检查显示为白细胞破碎性血管炎（LCV）。我们报告1例左氧氟沙星相关的LCV，通过泼尼松治疗及停用致病药物后成功治愈。尽管病例报告描述了LCV与较老的氟喹诺酮类药物（如环丙沙星和氧氟沙星）之间的联系，但最近的报告表明较新的氟喹诺酮类药物左氧氟沙星也与之有关。认识到氟喹诺酮诱发的皮肤血管炎很重要，因为继续使用或再次接触致病药物可能会产生危及生命的后果。
