Generalized bullous drug eruption to faropenem - hitherto unreported

Faropenem-induced urticarial vasculitis

“…Sir, Faropenem is a newer generation broad-spectrum oral β-lactam antibiotic belonging to carbapenem group, commonly used for upper-and lower-respiratory tract, and genitourinary infections. 1 Although diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting occur infrequently as side-effects of faropenem, adverse cutaneous reactions are exceedingly rare. Isolated cases of generalized bullous drug eruption and acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis due to faropenem have been reported.…”
