Abstract:
Drug eruption is a cutaneous reaction caused by various drugs, which include antibiotics, antipyretics, anti-inflammatory analgesics, antidepressants, antituberculosis drugs, etc. Drug eruptions caused by antituberculosis drugs are relatively uncommon and there have been no previous reports in Korea which caused simultaneously by isoniazid and rifampin. A 57-year-old female patient, who was treated with antituberculosis drugs, was seen with generalized erythematous maculopapular eruption. We performed patch test and prick test with the antituberculosis drugs and could confirm a drug eruption caused by isoniazid and rifampin. And we performed desensitization to isoniazid for an optimal antituberculosis regimen and completed the treatment with isoniazid, successfully.
