Can allergic reactions to antibiotics cause Secondary vasculitis?

Yes, allergic reactions to antibiotics can cause secondary vasculitis. Vasculitis is an inflammation of the blood vessels that can occur as a result of an allergic reaction to a medication, including antibiotics. When the body has an allergic reaction to an antibiotic, it produces antibodies that attack the antibiotic and the blood vessels, leading to inflammation and damage to the blood vessels. This inflammation can cause symptoms such as rash, fever, joint pain, and fatigue. In severe cases, vasculitis can lead to organ damage and even death.
