Chlamydophila pneumoniae Infection Induced Nodular Vasculitis

H Sakuma, S Niiyama, Y Amoh, K Katsuoka

Case Reports in Dermatology 2011, 3 (3): 263-7

We present the case history of a 48-year-old male patient with Chlamydophila (Chlamydia) pneumoniae who developed a nodular vasculitis. He developed a cutaneous vasculitis with the onset of respiratory symptoms. The diagnosis of Chlamydophila pneumoniae infection was based on serology. Since this infection is very common in our population, although often asymptomatic, it should be systematically considered as a causative agent of nodular vasculitis.
