Adverse drug reactions are a major hazard of modern medicine. Fixed drug eruption, which is a cutaneous adverse drug reaction, is commonly seen with antimicrobials and analgesics. Here we report 37-year-old female with bullous fixed drug eruptions due to doxycycline administration.

Severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs) are generally induced by drugs and encompass the conditions of Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), drug induced eosinophilia and systemic syndrome (DRESS) also known as drug induced hypersensitivity syndrome (DIHS), and acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP). These conditions, although rare, cause significant...

PURPOSE Immunotherapy has experienced impressive progress in cancer treatment. Antibodies against PD-1 improved survival in different types of cancer including melanoma. They are generally well tolerated. However, skin toxicities including pruritus, rashes, and vitiligo are reported. Although frequent, they have not been characterized further yet. In this analysis, we aimed to systematically as...

Cutaneous drug reactions make up the largest proportion of adverse events in the medical field. Causality, in particular, is difficult to determine, and therefore, preventing recurrent reactions can be challenging. Bendamustine was initially thought to be a well-tolerated chemotherapy agent with few side effects aside from bone marrow suppression. However, the incidence of cutaneous reactions r...

The medical literature suggests that persons infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have an increased risk of many common and uncommon cutaneous diseases. Further, it has been suggested that in HIV-infected people these conditions may be more persistent and they may be more prone to developing adverse cutaneous reactions to drugs. We have identified a cohort of 684 HIV-infected person...
