Levamisole-induced vasculitis.

Raghad Abdul-Karim1, Caitriona Ryan, Christina Rangel, Michael Emmett.   

Abstract

Levamisole-contaminated cocaine is an increasingly reported cause of a syndrome characterized by vasculitic skin lesions and immunologic abnormalities. With approximately 70% of cocaine in the United States now contaminated with levamisole, the incidence of this syndrome is likely to increase. We report two cases of this syndrome and review its clinical presentation, course, and prognosis.
