Article Synopsis
- Leukocytoclastic vasculitis (LCV) is a type of inflammation affecting small blood vessels, primarily in the skin, with several possible causes, including autoimmune conditions, infections, and sometimes occurs without a known cause.
- A case report details a 73-year-old man who developed skin-limited LCV after starting weekly injections of semaglutide, a medication for type 2 diabetes, which resolved quickly after stopping the drug.
- The conclusion highlights the need for further research and monitoring to determine how common LCV might be as a side effect of both oral and injectable forms of semaglutide.
