The patient had been in her usual state of health until 1 year before the current presentation, when a painless purpuric rash on the lower legs developed. The rash waxed and waned. There was no joint pain, edema, weakness, or weight loss. The patient was seen by a dermatologist at another hospital, and the results of a skin biopsy were reportedly consistent with leukocytoclastic vasculitis. The results of urinalysis and kidney-function tests were normal. Her symptoms were attributed to a history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection; topical glucocorticoid treatment was initiated, and the rash resolved.  aLESIÓN RENAL AGUDA  aMEDICINA CLÍNICA GENERAL  aDERMATOLOGÍA GENERAL  aENFERMEDADES INFECCIOSAS GENERALES  aREUMATOLOGÍA GENERAL  aSise, Meghan E.   aRapalino, Otto   aBranagan, Andrew R.   aTrivin-Avillach, Claire 0 022717dMassachusetts NEJM GroupoNEJM016tThe New England Journal of Medicine wESSALUDx0028-4793
