“…The skin lesions appear within one hour to several days after the ingestion of drugs, and resolve within 10-14 days (2, 10). There is no specific therapy for bullae and sweat gland necrosis and so they are typically treated with supportive care only (11). …”

Bullae and sweat gland necrosis remain rare cutaneous manifestation, and these conditions can be misdiagnosed as Vibrio vulnificus infections or other soft tissue infections because of their low index of suspicion. A 46-yr-old man with a history of continued alcohol consumption presented with erythematous and hemorrhagic bullous lesions on his left arm. The patient reported that after the ingestion of clams, he slept for 12 hr in a heavily intoxicated state. Then the skin lesions started as a reddish patch that subsequently became hemorrhagic bullae. V. vulnificus infection, cellulitis, and necrotizing fasciitis were considered in initial differential diagnosis. However, on the basis of sweat gland necrosis on histopathologic examinations and negative results on bacterial cultures, we made the diagnosis of bullae and sweat gland necrosis. Therefore, bullae and sweat gland necrosis should also be considered in chronic alcoholic patients who present with bullae and a previous history of unconsciousness.

disease or other common variable immunodeficiencies have been considered to have a causal link with PLC. It is possible that the lymphocytic reaction observed in PLC might be correlated to the immune disorder underlying MM. Nevertheless, we cannot exclude that the immunosuppressive therapy performed for MM could have given rise to the papular reaction of PLC by favouring some unknown infective agent.
