Abstract

Hepatitis B virus is of growing clinical importance. This virus not only produces acute and chronic liver disease but also produces a variety of dermatologic syndromes. A 77-year-old man with erythematous urticarial-like papulonodules had a chronic active hepatitis. And microscopic findings were compatible with allergic vasculitis. We reported a case of allergic vasculitis associated with chronic active hepatitis and reviewed literatures briefly.
