    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Rifampicin is a crucial antibiotic for treating tuberculosis.
    • Cutaneous adverse drug reactions (cADRs) to Rifampicin are generally infrequent, occurring in less than 5% of patients.

    Observation:

    • This case study documents an unusual cutaneous reaction to Rifampicin.
    • The patient presented with an urticarial fixed drug eruption.

    Findings:

    • Fixed drug eruption (FDE) is a specific type of cutaneous adverse drug reaction.
    • An urticarial presentation of FDE due to Rifampicin has not been previously reported in medical literature.

    Implications:

    • This finding expands the spectrum of known cutaneous side effects associated with Rifampicin.
  • Clinicians should consider fixed drug eruption in the differential diagnosis of dermatological reactions to Rifampicin, even with an urticarial morphology.
