Abstract
|
|
|
|
Livedoid vasculopathy is a chronic disease which appears with recurrent painful livedo reticularis patches and ulcers. The exact cause is unknown but it is known to be associated with some connective tissue or infectious diseases. Vasculopathy has been frequently reported as a cutaneous manifestation in chronic hepatitis C patients. As research into the pathology of hepatitis C progresses, new relationships between it and skin symptoms are emerging. We report a 44-year-old woman with livedoid vasculopathy who has no other known associated disease but chronic hepatitis C.
