Morbilliform drug eruption is the most common form of drug eruption. Many drugs can trigger this allergic reaction, but antibiotics are the most common group. The eruption may resemble exanthems caused by viral and bacterial infections. 1. A morbilliform skin rashin an adult is usually due to a drug. 2. In a child, it is more likely to be viral in ...
About 2% of prescriptions of new drugs cause a drug eruption. About 95% of these are morbilliform drug eruptions. They mainly affect people prescribed beta-lactam antibiotics (penicillins, cephalosporins), sulfonamides, allopurinol, anti-epileptic drugs and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID). Numerous other drugs have been reported to cau...
Morbilliform drug eruption is a form of allergic reaction. It is mediated by cytotoxic T-cells and classified as a Type IV immune reaction. The target of attack may be drug, a metabolite of the drug, or a protein bonded to the drug. Inflammation follows the release of cytokines and other effector immune cells.
On the first occasion, a morbilliform rash usually appears 1–2 weeks after starting the drug, but it may occur up to 1 week after stopping it. On re-exposure to the causative (or related) drug, skin lesionsappear within 1–3 days. It is very rare for a drug that has been taken for months or years to cause a morbilliform drug eruption. Morbilliform d...
In the early phase, it may not be possible to clinically distinguish an uncomplicated morbilliform eruption from other more serious cutaneous adverse reactions(SCAR). These are: 1. Drug hypersensitivity syndrome 2. Stevens Johnson syndrome – toxic epidermal necrolysis(SJS/TEN) 3. Acute generalised exanthematous pustulosis(AGEP) Patients with the fo...
A strong clinical suspicion of morbilliform drug eruption depends on: 1. Typical exanthematous rash 2. Recently introduced medication To identify the possible causative drug, a drug calendar, including all prescribed and over-the counter products, may be helpful. The starting date of each new drug is documented together with the onset of the rash. ...
The most important thing is to identify the causative drug and if possible, stop it. If the reaction is mild, and the drug is essential and not replaceable, obtain a specialist opinion whether it is safe to continue the drug before doing so. 1. Monitor the patient carefully in case of complications. 2. Apply emollients and potent topical steroid cr...
It is not possible to completely prevent morbilliform eruptions. Prescribers must be vigilant. Their incidencemay be reduced by: 1. Minimising prescriptions for antibiotics 2. Educating the patient about the cause of their rash and the danger of re-exposure to the same medication 3. Adding the reaction to the medical record alerts
If the causative drug is ceased, the rash begins to improve within 48 hours and clears within 1–2 weeks. If the drug is continued, the rash may: 1. Resolve despite continued exposure to the drug 2. Persistwithout change 3. Progress to erythroderma
Mar 4, 2022 · The critical goal when evaluating a child with a new-onset morbilliform eruption is to make an accurate diagnosis in a timely manner. Full-body examination and careful history-taking can help to narrow the differential diagnosis and guide the workup.

Morbilliform drug eruptions are often difficult to differentiate from viral exanthems. It is believed that concomitant viral infections may predispose susceptible individuals to develop an allergic morbilliform drug eruption. Many agents, including common antibiotics, can trigger a morbilliform drug eruption.
Key points. Morbilliform eruptions in the hospitalized child. The ability to accurately diagnose a child with a new-onset eruption in a timely manner is a fundamental skill for the dermatology consultant. Morbilliform eruptions inspire a broad and varied differential spanning across inflammatory and infectious categories.
