Abstract

A 14-year-old girl with cutaneous necrotizing vasculitis presenting highly aching erythematous-purple lesions with reticular edges localized on the back of feet and appearing in the course of acute Epstein-Barr virus infection is herein reported. Pain was non-responsive to ibuprofen and required administration of tapentadol and pregabalin. The occlusive vasculopathy observed in this case was explained by the concomitant presence of factor V Leiden positivity.
