- Abstract:
The article categorizes drug-induced rashes in the U.S. to differentiate between the harmless and the truly aggressive. It notes the high prevalence of drug-induced rashes as almost all drugs, particularly antibiotics and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have been linked to rash. It claims that simple exanthematous eruptions account for 95% of skin reactions. It talks about companion rashes like the Sweet Syndrome, persistent rashes like the DRESS syndrome, and dangerous rashes.
