Possible Terbinafine and/or Itraconazole Induced Vasculitis - A Case Study
In community practice, Drug-induced Vasculitis (DIV) is frequently overlooked. When patients present with skin rash, fever, and multi-organ dysfunction, DIV should be considered, particularly in the context of recent drug use. Over-the-counter antifungals, like terbinafine or itraconazole, can cause DIV and may be fatal if not promptly diagnosed and treated.
