چکیده
|
The percentage of cocaine adulterated with levamisole is steadily increasing in the united states. in susceptible persons,this combination of drugs leads to a clinical syndrome that can include leukopenia and cutaneous manifestations. many patients also demonstrate positive autoimmune markers. biopsies of skin lesions often reveal a thrombotic pattern,leukocytoclastic vasculitis,or both. we report 2 cases of this clinical phenomenon,one of which was severe enough to require skin grafting. it is important for clinicians be aware of this emerging public health threat.
