T G Berger, S T Sesody

    Cutis
    |June 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    A case report details a photodistributed lichen planus-like eruption linked to quinidine. Physicians should consider this drug eruption when patients use quinidine, ethambutol, or thiazides.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Pharmacology
    • Toxicology

    Background:

    • Drug-induced eruptions can mimic various dermatological conditions.
    • Photosensitivity reactions are a known side effect of certain medications.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with a photodistributed eruption resembling lichen planus.
    • The eruption appeared during treatment with quinidine.

    Findings:

    • The case suggests quinidine can induce a photosensitive, lichen planus-like drug eruption.
    • This highlights the importance of considering drug-induced causes for such dermatoses.

    Implications:

    • Physicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for drug eruptions, particularly photodistributed ones, in patients on quinidine, ethambutol, or thiazides.
