Levamisole-induced vasculitis develops in patients apparent to cocaine that has been adulterated or “cut” with levamisole. Adapted concrete assay findings, history, and class abstracts may advice clinicians differentiate this article from added vasculitides and accordingly advice with abiding administration of this potentially alternating problem.
Patients who advance levamisole-induced vasculitis present with purpuric macules and papules, retiform purpura, and bark afterlife artlessly localized to the helices and lobes of the ears, the nasal tip, the digits, and the cheeks (See Figure 1). Patients may additionally accept affirmation of systemic autoimmunity and may accuse of built-in affection such as night sweats, fevers, malaise, and arthralgias.
Histopathology is ascendant to the analysis of any blazon of vasculitis. In levamisole-induced vasculitis, biopsy specimens may authenticate afterlife and deepening of barge walls, with red claret corpuscle extravasation, karyorrhexis, and fibrin microthrombi aural baby argosy in the apparent and abysmal dermis.
Basic class testing to appraise vasculitis should be sent, including a complete claret count, a complete metabolic panel, and a urinalysis. Patients may accept anemia, leukopenia, and neutropenia. Urinalysis may authenticate proteinuria and hematuria. Depending on the analytic situation, clinicians may accept to augment the workup for vasculitis, abnormally back levamisole-induced vasculitis should be a analysis of exclusion.
Urine biologic testing is recommended for any accommodating presenting with analytic allegation apropos for levamisole-induced vasculitis. Clinicians should access a urine case as anon as accessible to analysis for the attendance of cocaine. Testing for urine levamisole is not recommended; such testing requires specialized equipment, and the biologic has a abbreviate half-life (5-6 hours), with alone a baby bulk excreted in the urine. Of note, the attendance or absence of cocaine in the urine does not definitively affirm or exclude the analysis of levamisole-induced vasculitis.

Autoantibody testing in levamisole-induced vasculitis is generally absolute for myeloperoxidase (MPO)-antineutrophilic cytoplasmic antibiotic (ANCA) and proteinase 3-ANCA. This bifold positivity for MPO and PR3 in a accommodating with archetypal cutaneous allegation suggests levamisole-induced vasculitis, admitting distinct absolute after-effects and analytic history may advance alternating diagnoses such as granulomatosis with polyangiitis or diminutive polyangiitis. Patients who advance bark complications of levamisole may additionally accept college ante of absolute after-effects back testing for anti-phospholipid antibodies.
In summary, patients who present with adapted cutaneous findings, with or after built-in affection and neutropenia, should alert suspicion and workup for levamisole-induced vasculitis.
Any being who uses cocaine is at accident for developing levamisole-induced vasculitis. Back its attendance in cocaine was aboriginal accurate in the United States in 2003, and anon thereafter in Europe and Canada, the percent of cocaine cut with levamisole has steadily increased. According to the United States Biologic Enforcement Agency, afore 2008 beneath than 10% of tested, wholesale-level cocaine independent levamisole, admitting by 2009 about 71% of activated cocaine samples were absolute for the drug. Although the numbers appear in European countries vary, the trend is similar.
Levamisole is an antihelminthic biologic with anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory backdrop acclimated primarily in veterinary medicine. It has been acclimated for blight analysis in humans, and in dermatology it has been acclimated for leprosy, collagen vascular disease, contrary warts, and lichen planus, amid added conditions. Complications such as agranulocytosis and vasculitis were appear in the 1970s amid patients demography levamisole for anarchic conditions. It was removed from markets in the United States in 1999 but charcoal broadly available, alike after a prescription, in some countries (See Figure 2).
The acumen levamisole is added to cocaine is unclear, but it may be accompanying to an amphetamine-like actuality alleged aminorex, which is a metabolite of levamisole. Aminorex has action on serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine transporters, with a half-life greater than that of cocaine. This metabolite may potentiate the aftereffect of cocaine. Added analysis suggests that levamisole may access autogenous opioid absolution or act through nicotinic receptors to access the absolution of norepinephrine.

Epidemiologic studies advance that women who use cocaine may be added affected to developing levamisole-induced vasculitis. However, both men and women are at risk, and ages alignment from 18-64 are acclaimed in case series.
The pathophysiology of levamisole-induced autoimmunity is clumsily characterized. Recent assignment suggests that levamisole promotes neutrophils to abide a specific blazon of corpuscle afterlife characterized by banishment of atom proteins apprenticed to chromatin and added nuclear materials. These complexes accommodate the above antigenic targets of autoantibodies and may be triggered by the alternation of levamisole with a muscarinic receptor on neutrophils. It is anticipation that these complexes may be anon baneful to vascular endothelium and accord to the vascular anatomy apparent in levamisole-induced vasculitis.
Patients with levamisole-induced vasculitis may authenticate affection of systemic autoimmunity. These patients may present with fever, weight loss, fatigue, and arthralgias. They may be greatly neutropenic or anemic. An aberrant urinalysis can be apocalyptic of renal complications. This achievability charge be evaluated thoroughly, as renal abnormalities, including glomerulonephritis advanced to end date renal disease, are appear amid patients with levamisole-induced vasculitis.
Treatment options include:
In the astute setting, primary administration consists of admiring care, including anguish care, aqueous resuscitation, and antibiotics, if indicated. Affected patients can be greatly immunosuppressed and may accept all-encompassing bark complications, with ulceration.
The use of systemic corticosteroids is not able-bodied accustomed but can be considered, decidedly in the ambience of systemic manifestations or accelerating cutaneous disease.

Surgical appointment may be all-important in cases of all-encompassing bark ulceration.
The role of filgrastim in the administration of levamisole-induced neutropenia is unknown; patients tend to accept calculation accretion aural bristles to ten canicule behindhand of treatment.
Successful abiding analysis includes abeyance of cocaine abuse. Patients should be counseled about the accident for alternating affection aloft re-exposure and should abstain any artefact that ability accommodate levamisole.
The aboriginal footfall in managing a accommodating with levamisole-induced vasculitis is to authorize a alive diagnosis. Because this article may overlap in analytic presentation and class allegation with added types of vasculitis, it is acute to doubtable and authorize the diagnosis, back appropriate, in adjustment to additional patients acknowledgment to systemic allowed abolishment apprenticed by added diseases (e.g., granulomatosis with polyangiitis). The distinct best important abiding ameliorative action is to advice patients carefully abstain all articles that may be adulterated with levamisole. Otherwise, no ameliorative action is acutely established. Systemic analysis with corticosteroids ability be advised for systemic or accelerating cutaneous disease. Admiring affliction is a cornerstone of therapy. For added all-encompassing cutaneous disease, surgical action may be required.
Patients should be acutely instructed to stop all products, including cocaine, that ability be attenuated with levamisole. A biologic accretion affairs may be beneficial. There is no specific aliment analysis added than strategies to abutment patients while they balance from biologic abuse.
Patients ability especially abjure the use of cocaine. Nevertheless, a urine biologic awning should be performed whenever the analysis is suspected. Concrete assay and class allegation can be non-specific, but the analytic presentation of purpura and afterlife of the ears, cheeks, and adenoids is characteristic. While it is analytical to appraise for and aphorism out added important types of systemic vasculitis, levamisole-induced vasculitis should be advised in the adapted analytic context.
