title: Immune complex disease associated with Peroben intake.
abstract: The clinical history and biological investigations of a patient presenting an immune complex disease induced by Peroben are reported. Biological signs were those of a drug-induced lupus syndrome. A provocation test allowed disclosure of its pathomechanism, since during Peroben intake a high C1q binding activity occurred and later regressed, while deposits of IgM and C3 were evidenced in the vessel walls. Complete or partial thrombosis succeeded accompanying a leukocytoclastic vasculitis.
