Does Bactrim Cause Vasculitis?

My husband was taking Bactrim for a foot infection. He soon was diagnosed with vasculitis. He died two eks later His kidneys and lungs were shutting down. I now think he was allergic to Bactrim. Could this be the cause of the vasculitis and would a person die that quickly. He also had diabetes and had a quadruple bypass 6 months prior.
