Abstract
The occurrence of purpuric manifestations following the administration of iodides was recorded in 1877 by Fournier.1Other reports were made by Robinson in 1893,2Milian in 1899,3Mackenzie in 1889,4Wilson in 1889,5Hudelo and Lebar in 19046and Dennig in 1933.7While cutaneous manifestations from the internal use of iodides are common, and, indeed, often anticipated, we feel that purpuric lesions are of sufficient rarity to justify this case report. We consider that purpura resulting from iodides is an ominous sign—if the use of the drug is continued, a fatality might result. Therefore one must recognize the possibility that purpura can be caused by the administration of iodides. In our experience, it occurs so rarely as to make one suspect other causes rather than the obvious (and true) one. REPORT OF CASE B. F., a 48 year old man, was first seenKeywords
