Özet
Fixed Drug Eruption (FDE) is characterized with skin lesions in the instant of offending drug. It recurs at the same site of the skin or mucous membrane. In our case, 26-year-old female patient was admitted to our emergency department with distinctive and itchy skin lesions after ornidazole administration. Physical examination revealed erythematous, hyperpigmented and desquamate, non-bullous and well-defined plaque lesions. She had similar medical history with ornidazole use. Histopathological examination with biopsy was performed. The patient's skin lesions and irritation symptoms have gradually improved with discontinuation of ornidazole, and administering topical and systematic anti-histaminic and steroid therapy. In conclusion, the physician should perform a detailed enquiry for patient's anamnesis. The offending drug should be discontinued And the patient should be informed about the offending drug.
