Abstract

The term of fixed drug eruptionis determined as induced lesions on the same site of skin or mucosa after subsequent re-exposure of the same drug. They are usually observed on genital area such as penis. Lesions of fixed drug eruptions vary in size and number, but have the same general appearance and symptoms. Type 4 hypersensitivity reaction thought to be caused. We evaluated a penil ulceration case related to doxycycline-induced fixed drug eruption in a 38-year-old man

Özet

Fiks ilaç erüpsiyonu terimi, tekrarlayan ilaç kullanımı ile deri ve mukozaların aynı hassas bölgelerinde gelişen lezyonlar olarak tanımlanır. Penis gibi genital bölgede sık gözlemlenirler.Lezyonların sayısı ve genişliği değişik olabilir ama genel görünüş ve semptomları benzerdir. Tip 4 hücresel hipersensivite reaksiyonu ile oluştukları düşünülür. Doksisiklin kullanımının oluşturduğu 38 yaşındaki erkek hastada, penil ülserasyon olgusunu inceledik
