Lamotrigine Induced Hypersensitivity in Aged: A Case Report

Abstract

Lamotrigine is an antiepileptic drug widely used to control seizures. It has many adverse events but in rare instances, it can cause drug hypersensitivity syndrome (DHS). We describe a case of lamotrigine induced drug hypersensitivity characterized by febrile erythema and eosinophilia. The suspect drug was replaced by valproate leading to marked improvement.
