[Leukocytoclastic vasculitis associated with ticlopidine].
In the last five years the combination of ticlopidine plus aspirin has been the treatment of choice to avoid thrombi formation after the implantation of intracoronary stents. The adverse effects observed include the appearance of a maculopapulous, pruritic, painless, cutaneous rash. We present the case of a patient who developed leucocytoclastic vasculitis associated with the administration of ticlopidine.
