Propylthiouracil induced p-ANCA+ pyoderma gangrenosum: Case report and review of literature

Öz Propylthiouracil (PTU) is a medication commonly used in the treatment of hyperthyroidism and is associated with the development of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) in 20% of patients treated for Graves’ disease [1], [2]. ANCA-positive PTU-induced pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) was first identified in 1999 by Darben et al. [1]. ANCAs are found in the blood of many patients with necrotizing systemic vasculitis and in some patients with neutrophilic dermatoses such as drug-induced vasculitis, Sweet’s syndrome, Behçet's disease and PG. Some reports have described the ANCA phenomenon in patients with PG or in neutrophilic dermatosis with the characteristics of PG [3]. . We aimed to present development of PG with p-ANCA positivity in a patient who had been using PTU for a long time and to discuss the current literature with this case-based review.
