dc.description.abstractContext: Cutaneous Adverse Drug Reactions (CADRs) are observed in 2-3% of hospitalized patients. The clinical presentation of the CADRs varies among different populations. Objective: To study the CADRs in hospitalized patients and their outcome. Materials and methods: Patients hospitalized at our department between 2005 May and 2010 May were retrospectively reviewed for the diagnosis of CADRs. Results: A total of 94 patients (3.3%) were diagnosed with CADR among 2801 hospitalized patients. Of them, 56 patients were female (59.6%) and 38 patients were male (40.4%). The culprit drugs were antibiotics (24.5%), non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) (22.4%), anticonvulsants (13.8%), antihypertensive agents (8.5%), paracetamol with or without pseudoephedrine or phenylephrine (6.4%), intravenous contrasts (3.2%), terbinafine (2.1%), biologic agents (2.1%) and various other medications (17.0%). The most common clinical type of CADRs was morbilliform exanthemas in 59.6% of the patients, followed by erythroderma (6.4%), drug reactions with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (6.4%), lichenoid drug reaction (5.3%), urticaria and angioedema (4.3%), acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (4.3%), drug-induced vasculitis (3.2%), drug induced psoriasis (2.1%), Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis overlap (2.1%), psoriasiform drug reaction (2.1%). Fixed drug reaction, erythema multiforme, bullous drug reaction, drug induced panniculitis were observed in one each. No deaths occurred on the follow-up. Fever was observed in 35.1% of the patients. Eosinophilia was present in 51.1% of them. Latency period ranged between 0-15 days in 59 patients (62.8%), 15-30 days in 19 patients (20.2%), 30-90 days in 13 patients (13.8%), 90-120 days in three of them (3.2%). The latency for anticonvulsant drugs was statistically longer than the other group of drugs (p: 0.027). Discussion and conclusions: CADRs were more common in women and most of them were caused by antimicrobial agents followed by NSAIDs and anticonvulsants. Latency period of anticonvulsants were longer than the other groups.en_US
