The frequency of thyroid autoimmune-related problems was higher in patients with RAS. It would be worthy of searching autoimmune thyroid disorders in patients with RAS.
Fixed drug eruption (FDE) is a drug-induced cutaneous reaction that occurs at the same site with each exposure to a specific medication and usually manifests as round or oval, sharply demarcated erythematous or edematous plaques. The exact mechanism is unknown. The most common causative agent is co-trimoxazole. Other major categories of causative agents of FDE include antibiotics, antiepileptics, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). FDE usually causes localized eruptions and very rarely generalized lesions. We report two cases of developing generalized FDEs after exposure to diclofenac and naproxen.
Fixed drug eruption (FDE) usually develops after oral administration and is described as a cutaneous reaction recurring at the same location each time the drug is taken. Olopatadine is both a H1 histamine receptor antagonist and a mast cell stabilizer, indicated for the treatment of allergic conjunctivitis. Here, we report a 14-year-old male patient who developed FDE localised on the lateral side of periorbital rim bilaterally, whilst applying olopatadine 0.1% ophthalmic solution for the treatment of allergic conjunctivitis. As far as we know, FDE due to olopatadine has not been previously reported in the literature. We deem it appropriate to report this case because FDE that results from the application of topical drugs is a rare event in the literature.
Chenopodium album L. ssp. album is a common plant species worldwide, especially in humid areas. Sun exposure after oral intake of the plant can lead to sunburn-like rashes owing to its furocoumarin content. In this article, we reported nine patients who developed dermatitis with edema, erythema and necrosis on the face and dorsum of the hands. Each was exposed to sunlight after eating selemez (the vernacular name of C. album L. ssp. album). The plant samples analyzed by an expert botanist were described as C. album L. ssp. album belonging to Chenopodiacea family.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
