ABSTRACT
Out of a consecutive series of 4000 patients 23 were thought to have a 'fixed drug eruption', representing a far higher incidence than in comparable Western studies. The possible reasons are discussed; the widespread ingestion of the dipyrone drug Novalgin was considered to be the most important single cause. The dangers of dipyrone are emphasized and the wisdom of the health authorities in completely banning such preparations is commended
