Abstract:
The drug eruptions caused by quinolones are rarely reported. The patient took norfloxacin for several days prior to admission and was admitted due to systemic erythematous maculopapular eruptions. For the treatment of urinary tract infection, he was treated with pefloxacin via intravenous route, and then the symptom of drug eruption became aggravated. After termination of treatment, the symptom reduced. The causative agent was identified by intradermal test and confirmed by accidental rechallenge with levofloxacin which is an another quinolone. We report herein the case of drug eruption caused by several quinolones which was confirmed by intradermal test and incidental administration of the drug.
