Abstract
We present the case of a 73-year-old man with IgA vasculitis after administration of acenocoumarol, confirmed by anatomopathological study. He had cutaneous, joint and renal involvement. With the reintroduction of the drug, the clinical manifestations worsened. They were completely resolved with its suspension, without additional maintenance treatment.
