Pustular eruption induced by FLAG regimen in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia: pustular eruption possibly caused by cytarabine
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background: Serious cutaneous eruptions caused by cytarabine are never reported in China. Methods: We admitted a 43-year-old man who was diagnosed with acute non-lymphocytic leukemia, and was given several chemotherapy regimens including cytarabine. And when FLAG regimens were given in the patient, the serious pustular eruption appeared. Results: After the treatment, cutaneous eruption was gradually improved. Conclusion: This case provides evidence that pustular eruption occurring in this patient during FLAG chemotherapy was probably caused by cytarabine. Clinicians in hematology departments should know morphology of serious cutaneous eruption and drugs with potential to cause cutaneous eruption in chemotherapy.
