A Rare Case of Fixed Drug Eruption due to Ondansetron
Authors
Abstract:
AbstractFixed drug eruption (FDE) is a unique type of cutaneous drug reaction that typically recurs in the identical locations on re-exposure to the attributed drug. FDE is characterized by the appearance of a single or multiple sharply demarcated violaceous erythematous plaques which heal with residual hyperpigmentation. A 27-year-old woman presented with multiple dark patches over her eyelids, mouth, lips, and shoulders of 1 week’s duration. These lesions followed multiple erythematous plaques over the same areas which appeared within 4 hours of the intake of an ondansetron tablet, 12 days previously. The case was diagnosed as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation following ondansetron-induced FDE. There was an identical episode 1 year earlier due to the intake of the same drug. The causality assessment pointed toward a probable/likely association as per the Naranjo algorithm and the WHO–UMC scale. There have been only a few cases of FDE due to ondansetron in the reported literature.

Fixed Drug Eruption (FDE) is classified as cutaneous drug reaction which recurs in the same locations upon systemic administration of the same drug. Vesicles and bullae may sometimes be found, and in some cases even these are confused with Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS) or Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN). A male patient, 62 years old, developed FDE with the use of ornidazole. On physical exami...
full textFixed Drug Eruption Due to Fluconazole: a Case Report
Fluconazole is commonly used in treatment of candidiasis and dermatophyte infections. Fluconazole-induced fixed drug eruption (FDE) is one of the rare adverse cutaneous drug reactions reported in literature. We report a case of a 23-year-old man who developed FDE after intake of fluconazole, which resolved after the drug was discontinued. Thus, for safe use of medicines, continued reporting of ...

A 69-year-old male presented with several painful erythematous patches on both palms and trunk several days after receiving iopromide (Ultravist®, Shering, Berlin, Germany). A fixed drug eruption (FDE) due to iopromide was suspected clinically. However, at that time, the patch test with iopromide at the lesion site gave negative results. Three years later, the patient was mistakenly administere...
