Abstract:
A tyrosine kinase inhibitor (STI571, Gleevec) has recently been applied in the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia. We present the first reported case of pityriasis rosea occurring as a reaction to Gleevec in a woman with blast crisis of this disorder. It is suggested that although coincidental, this exanthem may be due to this agent.
