Nifuroxazide Erythema Pigmented Fixed: A Side Effect to Be Aware Off
Journal Title: Journal of Dermatology Research - Year 2022, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Erythema Pigmentum Fixata (EPF) is a delayed-type toxidermia. It manifests itself within 48 h after the re-introduction of a drug by the appearance of a recurrent rash, leaving a residual hyperpigmentation [1]. We report a first case of erythema pigmentosa fixed to Nifuroxazide. A 48-year-old man, chronic smoker, with a history of type 1 diabetes under insulin, having been amputated of the 4 limbs 5 years ago for ischemia of the limbs secondary to shepherd’s disease, suffering from a functional colopathy for which he often received symptomatic treatments includinf Nifuroxazide. The drug investigation revealed the ingestion of Nifuroxazide for a digestive episode after which he presented a rash composed of pruritic erythematous macules of the trunk and limbs with a 48-hour delay, evolving into post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. The biopsy showed an interface dermatitis consisting of a predominantly lymphocytic infiltrate. The pharmaco-vigilance report accused Nifuroxazide. All the data allowed us to conclude to an erythema pigmentosa fixata. The patient did not present any more recurrence after eviction of the molecule.
