Pediatric penicillin drug reactions may present in many forms such as erythema multiforme, serum-sickness, serum-sickness-like reaction (SSLR), Henoch-Schonlein Purpura (HSP), and urticarial vasculitis. Here, we review the case of a 13-month-old with atypical presentation of a drug reaction with increasing severity after each exposure to amoxicillin. We discuss the various differential diagnoses in comparison to our patient's presentation and conclude with the recommendation of considering timing and previous exposures in the diagnosis of drug-associated rashes in pediatric population.
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.
