Cutaneous drug reactions

Abstract

CLINICAL VIGNETTE A 49-year-old woman with diabetes underwent a midline inguinal hernia repair. Shewas later admitted for awound infection with sinus tract drainage into her peritoneum requiring another abdominal surgery. She received a dose of cefazolin intraoperatively followed by ticarcillin/clavulanate and vancomycin. In addition, she was started on fluoxetine for depression and hydrocodone as needed for pain. Three days later, cultures obtained at the time of surgery revealed methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus; the ticarcillin/clavulanate was discontinued, and she remained on vancomycin. On postoperative day 9, she received a dose of fluconazole for oral thrush, and 30minutes later, she noted diffuse itching.Within hours, she experienced a diffuse andpainful vesicular eruption. The allergy and immunology service was consulted for evaluation of fluconazole allergy. Physical examination was notable for scattered erythematous papules, a few targetoid lesions (see Fig E1 in this article’s Online Repository at www. jacionline.org), and tense blisters (see Fig E2 in this article’s Online Repository at www.jacionline.org) involving the arms, legs, palms, labia, and tongue with a few erosions on the gingiva.
