Abstract :
A 45 years old Malay Lady developed brisk vesicular, plaque-like reaction to a Mantoax test concomitant with a diagnosis acute myeloid leukaeimia (AML). The lesion resolved one month after chemotheraphy. Similar lesions developed later after she was bitten by mosquitoes on the forearms. She also had the lesions over her cheek. A skin biopsy showed infiltration of the dermis with neutrophils and some monocytoid cells. The lesion resolved one week after prednisolone therapy.
