Senile/solar purpura like lesions developed in association with use of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) inhibitors
Abstract
Senile purpura is a common, chronic skin disorder. It is induced by prolonged sun exposure, especially in fair skin people, on a genetic background and influenced by administration of aspirin, cytotoxic agents and topical and/or oral steroids. We reported a 56 year-old female patient with purpura along the dorsal areas of superior limbs after Infliximab.
