Abstract
Introduction Agranulocytosis or allergic skin reactions are common side effects of antithyroid drugs. Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) associated vasculitis is very uncommon. Case Report We report a 29-year-old woman treated with propylthiouracil for Graves’ disease who developed a vasculitic skin involvement. ANCA with antimyeloperoxidase specificity were documented. Symptoms resolved after discontinuation of the drug. Conclusion ANCA associated vasculitis is an unusual complication of propylthiouracil. Prognosis is conditioned by renal and pulmonary involvement.
