The development of erythema elevatum diutinum in a patient with juvenile idiopathic arthritis under treatment with abatacept.

ABSTRACT

In this case report, we present the first report of erythema elevatum diutinum after treatment of juvenile idiopathic arthritis with abatacept. Although it could also be coincidental, in our case, the appearance of vasculitis was not blocked by the simultaneous administration of a stimulation inhibitor, and alerts to the fact that as effective as a abatacept may be to control of the inflammatory articular symptoms, this might not translate into control of the disease.
