چکیده
Sir, Chemotherapy-induced acral erythema (CIAE) is a cytotoxic drug reaction to certain systemic chemotherapeutic agents, such as £uorouracil, doxorubicin, and especially cytosine arabinoside (1). Following discontinuation of chemotherapy, cutaneous lesions subside in 1 ^ 2 weeks with eventual desquamation. Rechallenge of patients with similar chemotherapeutic agents has reproduced the reaction in most but not all cases.
