Abstract

Leucocytoclastic vasculitis is a complex immune-mediated vasculitis of the dermal capillaries and venules. The annual incidence of biopsy-proven leucocytoclastic vasculitis is approximately 45 per million individuals. An agent used to treat vasculitis include corticosteroids and immunosuppressive drugs. There is no cure for leucocytoclastic vasculitis. A 61-year-old male patient with leucocytoclastic vasculitis was hospitalised and convinced of Panchakarma treatment. Based on the Ayurvedic concept, the diagnosis was considered Vatarakta with Raktavritta vata. Raktamokshana, Virechana and Basti were advised along with Shaman and Rasayana medications. The result was assessed using a numerical pain assessment scale to subjective and objective parameters. In the present case study, the diagnosis was established based on skin biopsy and clinical features, then treated successfully through multimodal Ayurvedic intervention.
