  • Title: Could it be a drug eruption?
    Author: Bruce F.
    Journal: Aust Fam Physician; 1997 Jun; 26(6):689-95. PubMed ID: 9197056.
    Abstract:
    Drug eruptions can be a common reason for patients to present to the general practitioner. It has been estimated that as many as one in 40 visits to the GP may be related to adverse drug reactions. While many cutaneous drug reactions are readily recognisable, other potentially serious eruptions require the GP to have some knowledge of the varying clinical morphology of drug eruptions to make the diagnosis. It is also useful to be aware of certain groups of drugs that are associated with specific cutaneous reactions. In this article some of the typical patterns of drug reactions will be discussed, and some of the commoner causes listed. However, for many of these reaction patterns there are a huge number of possible drug causes, as well as other non drug causes that need to be considered.
