ABSTRACT

A acne fulminans é afecção rara e a forma mais grave de todo o espectro clínico da acne. Caracterizase pelo aparecimento súbito de nódulos inflamatórios dolorosos que ulceram, concomitantemente, a manifestações sistêmicas. Pode ser induzida pela isotretinoína e alguns autores acreditam que a ocorrência do quadro seja dose dependente. O tratamento é controverso, não havendo padronização até o momento. Apresenta-se caso desta rara doença, desenvolvida durante o uso de isotretinoína em baixas doses.


Acne fulminans (AF) is a rare disorder, the most severe form of the entire clinical spectrum of acne. It is characterized by emergence of painful inflammatory nodules that turn into ulcers, concomitant with systemic manifestations. It can be induced by isotretinoin and some authors believe that the occurrence of this condition is dose dependent. The treatment is controversial and there is no consensus up to this time. A case of this rare disease, developed during use of isotretinoin in low doses, is presented.
