Abstract
Authors present a case of leucocytoclastic vasculitis secondary to exuberant conjunctivitis caused by Staphylococcus aureus in a young man with a history of allergy to various environmental factors, atopic dermatitis and chronic sinusitis. After anamnesis, laboratory tests, photographic documentation and a histopathological study, the diagnosis of leucocytoclastic vasculitis was confirmed. The patient was hospitalized and underwent targeted antibiotic treatment combined with high doses of corticosteroids. The therapeutic response was favorably progressive, with the dermal maculopapular lesions disappearing and his general condition improving, with the resolution of the infectious process.
