Abstract:
Background: Limited data exists on the use of rivaroxaban for the treatment of pediatric patients. This report presents a case of probable rivaroxaban-induced Erythema Multiforme in Children. Case Summary: A female patient aged 5.5 years with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) was administered oral rivaroxaban tablets 2.5 mg twice a day for 16 days. Subsequently, the patient developed a slight itching sensation on both feet and buttocks without an apparent cause. The following day, erythema multiforme appeared across the body in a scattered pattern. The erythema presented higher than the skin surface and partially merged into areas of the skin. Following an increase in the extent and degree of the erythema, all oral medications were ceased. Treatment with dexamethasone sodium phosphate injection, mometasone furoate cream, and mucopolysaccharide polysulfate cream resulted in an improvement of erythema multiforme. The erythema diminished and did not deteriorate subsequent to changing from rivaroxaban tablets to warfarin sodium tablets, and receiving nadroparin calcium injection.
