Ofloxacin/ tinidazole induced fixed drug eruption- a case report

Introduction: An immunological cutaneous adverse drug reaction is distinguished as sharply defined lesions with red rashes and sharp borders, erythematous lesions with or without blisters developing within an hour or in a few cases within a week after drug administration is termed as fixed drug eruptions (FDE). FDE is one of the major forms of drug-induced dermatosis. Various class of drugs that are causative agents for FDE includes antibiotics, anticonvulsants, antivirals, and Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID). FDE is easily recognized and differentiated from other drug eruptions since it does not occur voluntarily or during infection. Case report: This case report is to spotlight the case of a 52-year-old male patient who was undergoing treatment for acute gastroenteritis and suffered from FDE due to administration of IV Ofloxacin.
