A 65-year-old male with multiple comorbidities and recently diagnosed with diabetic kidney disease developed upper and lower extremity rash following escitalopram initiation for his depressive mood. Clinical assessment and skin biopsy confirmed cutaneous small-vessel vasculitis (CSVV), prompting drug discontinuation and oral methylprednisolone therapy. The resolution of the rash was achieved within a week. This rare case of CSVV induced by escitalopram highlights the importance of timely recognition and management of drug-induced CSVV and adds to the limited literature on selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor-associated CSVV.
一名65岁男性,患有多种合并症,近期被诊断为糖尿病肾病,在开始服用艾司西酞普兰治疗抑郁情绪后出现了上下肢皮疹。临床评估和皮肤活检确诊为皮肤小血管血管炎(CSVV),促使停用药物并开始口服甲泼尼龙治疗。皮疹在一周内消退。这例由艾司西酞普兰诱发的罕见CSVV病例凸显了及时识别和处理药物诱发的CSVV的重要性,并为关于选择性5-羟色胺再摄取抑制剂相关CSVV的有限文献增添了内容。
