Abstract
Cutaneous drug eruptions caused by use of various medications are becoming more and more common. Fortunately, most such eruptions resolve when the offending medication is withdrawn. Nonetheless, it is vital that physicians can recognize drug-related eruptions and ascertain the degree of severity, since some reactions are potentially fatal. A carefully taken drug history and a thorough physical examination are crucial in this effort.Keywords
