Asociación de Ulomoides Dermestoides "cucarrón del maní" como causa de purpura palpable
Keywords:
púrpura, vasculitis leucocitoclástica cutánea, Ulomoides dermestoidesAbstract
La coleoterapia (consumo de larvas de Ulomoides dermestoides), ha sido utilizado en medicina alternativa para tratar diferentes patologías crónicas como artritis, diabetes o cáncer. Su uso ha incrementado en Suramérica en los últimos años ganando aceptación. Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 64 años con purpura palpable en extremidades y fiebre que aparece durante el consumo de las larvas. Fue diagnosticado una vasculitis de hipersensibilidad la cual resolvió después de suspender el consumo de las larvas e iniciar corticosteroides. Esta es la primera asociación entre coleoterapia y purpura palpable que se ha descrito en la literatura destacando el potencial riesgo de eventos adversos generados por tratamientos de medicina alternativaDownloads
