Summary: Propylthiouracil (PTU) is widely used in the treatment of Hyperthyroidism. Usually well tolerated, it is though associated with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) and, less frequently, with late-onset ANCA positive vasculitis. The authors describe the clinical case of a 45-year-old female patient with Graves’ disease for which she was being treated with PTU since 3 years before, who developed an ANCA-positive cutaneous leukocytoclastic vasculitis without systemic involvement. Initially seen as idiopathic the vasculitis was posteriorly associated with PTU. The drug was discontinued with a progressive and maintained recovery. The patient remains asymptomatic with 3 years of follow-up.

Em regra bem tolerado, está contudo fortemente associado a anticorpos anticitoplasma dos neutrófilos (ANCA) e, numa minoria dos casos, a vasculite com ANCA positivos, que caracteristicamente ocorre tardiamente. Os autores descrevem o caso de uma mulher de 45 anos, medicada havia 3 anos com PTU no contexto de doença de Graves, observada por quadro clinico sugestivo de vasculite cutânea leucocitoclásica ANCA positiva sem envolvimento sistémico, a qual foi inicialmente interpretada como idiopática e posteriormente associada à toma de PTU. Após a suspensão deste fármaco, assistiu-se a uma melhoria progressiva e mantida, permanecendo a doente assintomática com 3 anos de seguimento.Sociedade Portuguesa de Dermatologia e Venereologia2015-07-01T00:00:00Zjournal articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.29021/spdv.73.2.379oai:ojs.revista.spdv.com.pt:article/379Journal of the Portuguese Society of Dermatology and Venereology; Vol 73 No 2 (2015): Abril / Junho; 287-291Revista da Sociedade Portuguesa de Dermatologia e Venereologia; v. 73 n. 2 (2015): Abril / Junho; 287-2912182-24092182-2395reponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAPporhttps://revista.spdv.com.pt/index.php/spdv/article/view/379https://doi.org/10.29021/spdv.73.2.379https://revista.spdv.com.pt/index.php/spdv/article/view/379/347Matos, DiogoBarreiros, HugoCoelho, RicardoBártolo, ElviraFonseca, Ana GlóriaCunha, Vitóriainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-10-06T12:34:53Zoai:ojs.revista.spdv.com.pt:article/379Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-28T10:31:06.615328Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
