Fixed drug eruption associated with fixed combination of fluoroquinolone-nitroimidazole

A Case of Self-treatment Induced Recurrent Fixed Drug Eruptions Associated with the Use of Different Fixed Dose Combinations of Fluoroquinolone-Nitroimidazole

A young male patient used fixed dose combinations of different fluoroquinolones and nitroimidazoles several times in the last few years for self-treating repeated episodes of diarrhea and loose motion. Each time, he experienced fixed drug eruptions that increased in number and severity on subsequent occasions. Suspecting association between the drug and the rashes, the patient each time discont...

Fixed drug eruption associated with anaesthesia.

She tolerated the procedure well initially, but developed eruptions about her face and fingers within 24 hr of anaesthesia.
