Apixaban
is a rare cause of leukocytoclastic
vasculitis
(LCV). To our knowledge, there is only one other reported case due to apixaban in the literature. We present a case of apixaban-induced leukocytoclastic
vasculitis
in a 95-year-old male. He had been started on apixaban 12 days prior to presentation and developed worsening palpable purpura of his lower extremities. Possible etiologies of this new rash were excluded, with biopsy showing extensive purpura with superficial perivascular neutrophilic infiltrate and leukocytoclasis.
Apixaban
