Abstract
A 28 year-old Male, Filipino, with no known co-morbidities, presented with a two-week history of palpable purpura on both lower extremities and fever followed by debilitating arthralgia and myalgia of the lower extremities and papules and vesicles on the face, treated for one week with antibiotics and analgesics without improvement. Skin biopsy of the lower extremities revealed a diagnosis of Leukocytoclastic Vasculitis and skin biopsy of the face was histopathologically consistent with Sweet's Syndrome. He had a complete recovery after a two-week course of oral corticoseroids.
