Abstract

Drug eruption is effect of a drug that occurs at doses used for prevention, diagnosis, or treatment. Drugs that are either prescribed by a doctor, or without a doctor's prescription. Currently there is a drug eruption in developed countries around 1-3%, while in developing countries around 2-5%. Eruption of drugs for skin diseases or other systemic diseases in the form of drugs, exanthematous eruption, urticaria eruption, pustular eruption, Fixed Drug Eruption (FDE), SSJ/TEN, and lichenoid eruption. Exanthematous eruption is the most common form of drug eruption. In establishing the diagnosis of drug eruption, a final examination must be used and a careful prior evaluation. Management of drug eruption takes precedence over the cessation of the causative drug, additional therapy is needed related to the severity of the reaction. Proper diagnosis and management is needed to increase the patient's life expectancy. Prevention of eruption recurrence is done by providing education about drugs that cause drug eruptions for patients and asking patients to replace the use of these drugs. Therefore, the correct diagnosis of the type of skin reaction is important, as it helps to better define the likely latency and subsequently the culprit drug.
