Low molecular weight heparin induced bullous hemorrhagic dermatosis
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Heparin-induced bullous hemorrhagic dermatosis is a rare, recently described side-effect of subcutaneous heparin injection. We present a case of a male patient with a bullous hemorrhagic eruption following the administration of subcutaneous LMWH. A diagnosis of Heparin-induced bullous hemorrhagic dermatosis was made by HPE (Histopathological examination) of tissue biopsy from the bullous lesion and the exclusion of other laboratory finding.
