ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta (PLEVA) is an uncommon condition which presents acutely with papulo-vesicles that may develop necrotic, ulcerative, or hemorrhagic changes.AIM:
We studied clinical, and treatment characteristics of PLEVA hospitalised patients at our hospital from September 2009 to December 2014.METHODS:
The records of 15 PLEVA patients were retrospectively reviewed.RESULTS:
The median age of onset was 21.8 ± 18.81 (from 1 to 68), male to female ratio was 2/1. The common area of onset was trunk (60.0%) and extremities (33.3%). Clinical features were purpuric papules (100%), hemorrhagic crusted papules (46.7%), pustular purpuric papules (40%), and necrotic ulcerating lesions (13.3%).CONCLUSION:
All patients were received systemic antibiotics (macrolides 53.3%, others 46.7%), 2 patients were added immunosuppressive drugs. A 1-year-old patient died, others had a good response.
