Fluconazole Induced Fixed Drug Eruption

چکیده
We report on a rare case of fluconazole induced fixed drug eruption in a 62-year old female patient. She was referred to our department for multiple erythematous itchy maculopatches on the face, neck, both upper arms, and trunk area, which had occurred over the previous 6 months. Her attending physician prescribed fluconazole for treatment of onychomycosis. Patch test and oral provocation were performed. The patch test showed a negative result; however, the result for oral provocation was positive, confirming this as a rare case of fluconazole induced fixed drug eruption. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case in Korean dermatologic literature.
