Abstract
A 26-yr-old man had a fixed drug eruption of the penis with no history of taking recent medication. The patient had had sexual contact with an individual who was being treated for nongonococcal urethritis with tetracycline and presumably had minute quantities of tetracycline in the saliva, urine and feces. This previously sensitized patient apparently developed a fixed drug eruption as a result of this exposure.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
