FIXED DRUG ERUPTION- BANE OF A BOON
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 17
Abstract
Medication forms one of the first basis of healing. But sometimes, like a double edged sword, it can do more harm than good. The pill that is used to cure an ailment may be the cause of misery itself. Drug reactions are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in the world today. Clinicians are the dispensers of prescriptions for ailments and also the one to whom the patient presents with lesions to. Some of the lesions that the patient may present with are drug associated. One such lesion which a clinician should be aware of to diagnose and treat is fixed drug eruption (FDE).
