A woman with leg cramps and rash.
A 68-year-old woman presented with generalized weakness and a rash on her lower extremities.

There was no history of bleeding diathesis, nose bleeding, hematuria, vasculitis, muscle or joint aches, cinchonism, or exposure to tuberculosis. She denied fever, chills, night sweats, leg pain or swelling, chest pain, or abdominal pain.
