Abstract
We report a rare case of a middle-aged Omani woman who was known to have primary antiphospholipid syndrome, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, and iron deficiency anaemia. Cannulation attempts caused bulla which progressed to ulceration. A pathergy phenomenon with high suspicion of pyoderma gangrenosum was postulated. Management with corticosteroids, cyclosporin, and finally ustekinumab, a novel biologic agent, yielded a beneficial response.
