Nodularvasculitis - Retrospective study of an uncommon disease in a non-tuberculosis endemic country with focus on treatment modalities and efficacy. Introduction Nodularvasculitis (NV) is a rare form of panniculitis primarily affecting middle-aged females, presenting as painful, sometimes ulcerated nodules on the dorsal lower legs. Erythema induratum Bazin (EIB) is a form of NV
Nodularvasculitis (erythema induratum) associated with systemic minocycline. A 29-year-old Caucasian woman presented with a 3-month history of bilateral lower limb swelling with painful erythematous nodules on shins without ulceration. She had been taking minocycline for acne vulgaris for 3 years. Biochemical investigations showed deranged liver function test with positive ANA and mixed antinuclear factor (ANF) pattern. A skin biopsy was in keeping with a diagnosis of nodularvasculitis. Her skin lesions and liver function test improved within 3 months of stopping the minocycline treatment. This case report raises the awareness that minocycline could be a potential cause of nodularvasculitis, patients on minocycline should be closely monitored and minocycline should ideally
Treatment of nodularvasculitis with colchicine. Nodularvasculitis (NV) refers to a chronic relapsing lobular panniculitis that is thought to be a hypersensitivity reaction to antigenic triggers. While it is commonly associated with tuberculosis, in many cases no underlying cause is found and the condition is difficult to manage. Here, we report three patients with refractory idiopathic NV
of 508 person-years. Most EI in Taiwan are nodularvasculitis and not tuberculids owing to well-controlled tuberculosis. This condition can be alleviated without anti-tuberculosis therapy.

, nodularvasculitis, tuberculous erythema induratum, tuberculosum, tuberculosis cutis indurativa and nodose tuberculidErythema induratum is a rare condition that classically produces painful, firm and sometimes ulcerated nodules on the lower legs in association with tuberculosis (TB).ClassificationIn 1945 the term nodularvasculitis was coined to describe chronic inflammatory nodules of the legs that showed histopathological changes similar to those of erythema induratum, but without an association with TB. The vasculitis is of the larger vessels with panniculitis - an inflammation involving subcutaneous fat and occasionally muscle, with or without vasculitis.Erythema induratum and nodularvasculitis had been seen as the same disease for many years but nodularvasculitis is now considered

Program-wide review and follow-up of erythema Induratum of Bazin and tuberculosis-associated ocular inflammation management in a TB low-incidence setting: need for improved treatment candidate selection, therapy standardization, and care collaboration. Erythema induratum of Bazin (EIB) - nodularvasculitis associated with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) - and Tuberculosis-Associated Ocular
was formed to propose an Addendum to CHCC 2012, focusing on cutaneous vasculitis. The Addendum better clarify the main aspects of some single-organ vasculitis, including IgM/IgG vasculitis, nodularvasculitis, erythema elevatum et diutinum and recurrent macular vasculitis in hypergammaglobulinemia. Moreover, it differentiated normocomplementemic from hypocomplementemic urticarial vasculitis. Finally
