Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pharmacology
  • Internal Medicine

Context:

  • Adverse cutaneous drug reactions (ACDRs) are a frequent challenge in general practice.
  • Understanding the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management of ACDRs is essential for effective patient care.

Purpose:

  • To review current knowledge on the pathogenesis, differential diagnosis, and management of drug-induced skin reactions.
  • To highlight the clinical significance and potential severity of ACDRs.

Summary:

  • ACDRs are common, with most being mild. However, distinguishing them from other skin conditions can be difficult.
  • Serious ACDRs are life-threatening and require intensive care. Antibiotics, NSAIDs, and anticonvulsants are frequently implicated.
  • Cutaneous drug reactions can indicate underlying diseases like HIV or lymphoproliferative disorders.

Impact:

  • Early recognition and withdrawal of the offending drug are critical for prognosis.
  • Causality assessment and patient education are vital for preventing future adverse events.
  • This review provides practical guidance for clinicians managing ACDRs.
