Iododerma from Contrast Material: NEJM Case Report

NEJM reports a image case of iododerma, patient after  Intravenous urography, Several hours later, generalized pustular eruptions developed, with multiple coalescing vesicles and pus-filled bullae observed on the patient’s face and ears, his trunk, and his arms and legs. Although its pathogenesis is not understood, delayed iodine clearance and the induction of neutrophil degranulation have been proposed as mechanisms. Treatment with thalidomide was initiated, and the skin lesions completely resolved within 4 weeks.Reference: Iododerma from Contrast Material. Juan Guillermo Chalela, M.D., and Laura Aguilar, M.D. N Engl J Med 2016; 374:2477June 23, 2016DOI: 10.1056/NEJMicm1512512Famous Radiology Blog http://www.sumerdoc.blogspot.com
