A wide clinical spectrum of cutaneous ADRs ranging from mild maculopapular rash to serious toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) were observed. The incidence of life threatening cutaneous ADRs like SJS and TEN were found to be higher compared to studies published abroad. Antibiotics were the most commonly implicated drugs. A higher number of cutaneous ADRs were found to newer drugs like cephalosporins and fluroquinolones compared to previous studies.
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.
