Unusual fixed drug eruption due to rifampicin

Cutaneous reactions due to rifampicin (RFM) are uncommon and amongst these fixed drug eruption (FDE) is especially rare. There have been only three reports of FDE to RFM in the literature so far. 1-3 In 1985, Naik et al. first reported a peculiar urticarial type of FDE due to RFM. Here, we describe a second such case with a similar unusual cutaneous drug eruption.
