Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) can cause skin reactions. A case study found paroxetine caused a generalized exanthema, confirmed by patch testing indicating delayed hypersensitivity.

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacology
  • Dermatology
  • Clinical Toxicology

Background:

  • Selective serotonin reuptuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are widely prescribed for depression and anxiety disorders.
  • Increased SSRI usage correlates with a potential rise in drug-induced cutaneous adverse events.
  • Understanding drug hypersensitivity is crucial for patient safety and effective treatment.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with a generalized exanthema, a widespread skin rash.
  • The exanthema developed following the initiation of paroxetine therapy.
  • The clinical presentation suggested a potential drug-induced hypersensitivity reaction.

Findings:

  • Patch testing with paroxetine yielded positive results.
  • Positive patch test results indicated a delayed-type hypersensitivity (Type IV) reaction.

  • This confirms paroxetine as the causative agent for the observed cutaneous reaction.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering SSRI-induced dermatological reactions.
    • Accurate diagnosis through patch testing aids in identifying specific drug triggers.
    • Awareness of paroxetine's potential for causing exanthema is vital for clinicians prescribing SSRIs.
