Metolazone is used successfully in diuresis of patients with combined cardiac and renal insufficiency. Because of its additive effect with potent loop diuretics, it is becoming more widely utilized particularly for those who are chronically ill. A cutaneous hypersensitivity angiitis most probably secondary to metolazone in a patient who had not had a similar reaction to thiazide diuretics is described.
