Erythromelalgia is a rare clinical entity that manifests as redness, heat, and burning pain in the extremities. Thecausative gene for erythromelalgia, SCN9A, encodes a voltage-gated sodium channel, subtype Nav1.7. We report a caseof a 26-year-old woman with erythromelalgia. She had 15-year history of recurrent purpura and swelling in the lowerextremities. At 16 years of age, she was diagnosed with skin biopsy-proven leukocytoclastic vasculitis associated withunexpected hypogammaglobulinemia( IgG 320 mg/dL, IgA 12 mg/dL, IgM 35 mg/dL). Under the tentative diagnosisof refractory IgA vasculitis, she was treated with prednisolone and intravenous immunoglobulin administration.However, the therapeutic intervention was only partially effective. Because of an atypical clinical course of IgAvasculitis, a genetic analysis for erythromelalgia was conducted when at 25 years of age, which revealed apathogenetic mutation in the SCN9A gene. Her mother also had the same mutation. After the diagnosis oferythromelalgia, carbamazepine administration was initiated and the treatment was successful. Unusual clinicalmanifestations of refractory purpura and hypogammaglobulinemia sometimes occur in selected patients witherythromelalgia. This case may contribute to the expansion of phenotypic presentation of erythromelalgia.}, pages = {80--83}, title = {長期に渡る繰り返す紫斑と低γグロブリン血症を主症状とした肢端紅痛症}, volume = {72}, year = {2022} }
