Cefaclor is an oral semi-synthetic broad-spectrum cephalosporin with a broad spectrum activity against both Gram positive and negative bacteria. It is widely used in a range of pediatric infections including otitis media, tonsillitis and skin infections. However, there are increasing reports of cefaclor associated serum sickness-like reaction. In this paper, a 30 month old previously healthy girl, who was referred to our hospital with fever, urticarial rash and joint manifestations and a diagnosis of cefaclor associated serum sickness-like reaction was established, was presented in order to emphasize relatively frequent cutaneous and joint manifestations of this drug
